I have been on my liquid diet since April 1st. It seem like the first 3 days were hard for me but im breezing right through it now. Surgery is April 12th. My diet consists of 2-3 protein shakes. sugar free jello,pudding,some cream soup(nothing chunky) and sugar free popsicles. Some of you are luck,you still get to eat whole foods, but the good thing about this diet,after surgery the liquid diet you will be on then, wont be so hard. Best wishes to all the April Bansters!!

Please make sure you ask your pharmacist about halfing or crushing meds. Some can not be at all. If you have a Dr already the best thing to do is talk to him. I have my surgery April 2th and the meds that was given to me are small enough that it wont do anything. My surgeon told me if i could to see if the meds could be bought in chewable or liquid form.
