Just had to share. On my liquid 2 week pre-op diet since Monday and am down 10 pounds!! I'm a huge guy, so it's relative, but I hope that this post encourages someone who is dreading it. FYI I fell off the wagon on yesterday and had 2 handfuls of raw cashews and 4 ounces of turkey but back on today and feel good!
-
I feel ya! I ate a hand full of cashews today. I'm at a meeting and had some soup broth. I just found out that potato was used to thicken it!!! Well, I officially had my cheat!!!! Back on the wagon!! Onward and upward!!

Is anyone having gas with the pre-op diet?
