Hey Richelle! Will I know you by your bells? What day are you going down? We have an extra day at the hotel for Saturday because flights on Sunday were completely booked.

I'm on day 3 of the diet. I'm doing the option with the 2 shakes/Lean Cuisine for 15 days. I think 700 calories or less a day is EXTREMELY brutal!! What diet are you doing???

As far as prep, I have my tylenol, gas-x, tucks and a sippy cup. LOL

Do you have a list of what is recommended?

Feel free to email me @ notime2qlt@aol.com

I will be having my surgery on June 20th. I am having a tough time with my pre-op diet I have lost about 13 pounds and 15 to go I hope to lose at least 10 more #-o . I do not want Dr. Miranda to tell me that I cannot have surgery. She told me that most patients lose a half lb. to 1 lb. per day on the liquid only diet. I am following to the T. Michelle

Hi Michelle. I am being really good on my diet too. Congrats on the 13 pound loss. Wow! How long have you been on your diet? I am only on day #3.

Do you know what's up with the FOUR pounds of salad per day that you're allowed? I buy the spring greens in a box from Costco and it takes our family a week to go through it, and it only weighs ONE pound. Maybe Dr. M means 1/4 pound???

Maybe I will get a chance to meet you on the 20th before I check out.

From what I can tell Dr. Miranda means you can have up to 4pounds of salad per day to help with the hunger pains. I have used a supplement called hoodia to help me the first couple of days. I really struggle with just being weak sometimes it is hard to function. I don\'t know how people stay on 400-500 calories and are still able to exercse.

The protein drink I really like is the Atkins ready made drinks. I know I will probably have to buy a mix in to boost the protein up to 60 grams per day. I hate!!!! the pre-op diet, but it is only for a short time. Take to you soon.

Michelle, I got very weak on the 700 calories a day diet also. By the 5th day, I was in bed during the day, and I got scared. I decided to have a meal for lunch at that point.
