I DIDNT KILL ANYONE OR CHEW MY ARM OFF!!

Well today I started my pre-op all liquid diet. So far it's 6pm and i'm ok. I hear my stomach growling, but it's nothing I cant handle. I had a muscle milk shake for breakfast, chicken broth and SF jello for lunch, just ate a SF popcicle and will have a protein shake for dinner. I've been drinking crystal light as well. I even went to the gym and did 40 minutes of cardio. I'm totally shocked and hope that I can keep this up!

Sounds like you're doing good. When I did my pre-op, protein supplements saved me. The first day was bad, but I just think I didn't have enough protein early enough in the day.

Good luck to you. When is your surgery?

Great job! I'm on day 12 of my all liquid diet and everyone in my house is still alive. laugh.gif It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Just keep busy and time will fly by. I didn't believe that at the beginning when someone told me but now that I am just a few days a way from surgery. It really did fly by.

Good Luck.

Sounds like you're well on your way! One more week! I had my consult and things are moving right along. Bloods today, some lung tests later today, and psych evaluation on monday. Thursday I'll have my appt with the nutritionist and pre-op instructions with the nurse practitioner and set my date. It's looking like that will be on June 14. I'll be a month behind you! I'm getting excited!
