Hello,

Not sure if your surgeon gave you ideas for all liquid diet. But, I had chicken broth, sugar free Jello, popsicles and continued to drink the required Protein shakes. It was nice to mix it up a little with the liquids. Good Luck to you!!

I am in the second day of the pre-op diet. What kind of pre-op diet are you on. Many are different. Are you just having the shakes? Are you allowed 4 ounces of low fat Protein with a small amount of vegetables for dinner?

I am doing the shakes plus 4 ounces of Protein at dinner.< /p>

Are you allowed unlimited sugar free popsicles, Jello, and fat free broth?

A friend gave me a hint regarding the shakes. Put in a couple tablespoons of fat free plain Greek yogurt. I tried that this morning and the shakes tasted so much better.

All in all, the pre-op diet is boring. Very boring. But we need to shrink our livers before surgery. We are doing this because we need the surgery tool to make better food choices with our minds.

I do get four ounces of Protein at dinner but I was told no yogurt. I can only mix shakes with Water. This is the largest test of my will power.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
