I ate two ounces of yogurt this morning, two ounces of broth for lunch, and will have two ounces of pudding before bed. Other than that it's all Water or Protein water, all the time! Today is a better day. Yesterday I was really feeling "buyers remorse" but today seems brighter somehow. I think it helps tremendously to be out of the hospital and back in my own home/bed.

I'm on the same boat consuming two ounces at a time.

Well I'm on free fluids today! And they gave me custard first up! Have only managed to get down a teaspoon of it so far! Is anyone else struggling to get things down also?? I think I'm more scared than anything as I don't want to vomit!

Are you gas everywhere or your stomach? My pain is a lot of pressure in my stomach also painful swallowing of liquids.

It was my stomach and I find that walking around helps out a lot and hubby patting my back

OMG anyone have painful gas. It hurts so bad

I am going to arrive noon PST to the hospital. Praying for everyone to have a speedy recovery.

Hello all. I'm so excited and nervous for tomorrow. It's 1:30 am where I am and I can sleep. Good thing my surgery isn't until 2 pm. Good luck everyone. I can t wait to hear his everyone is doing.

I'm scheduled for noon arrival, feeling the same as you.

Everything is becoming a reality. Waiting to preregister right now. So excited for all of us. Almost there.

Is it really only five more days? Wow! Our time is coming!

I'm so excited. We are almost there.

I'm Scheduled for July 1st as well! I'm hating this preop diet! It's so hard to cook for my family and not be able to eat any of it! I wish the day would get here already!

Hang in there, we will do this. Just keep your eye on the goal, to get the surgery done and feeling your best once you reach the ultimate goal of health. We will do this!!!

Our scale just died, so we set a budget ($50) and went with the highest rates one at that price on Amazon. It should arrive tomorrow. I'll let you know what I think. Back to jury duty tomorrow. Not too excited about it, to be honest. Hope everyone is doing well! Kate

Thank you. Jury duty is no fun at all.

I need to buy a scale and have no idea how much I have lost since I started the preop. Any suggestions?

Hello July 1st sleevers! How are you doing? I'm completing day 8 of my 14 day pre op. My family and I will be leaving this Sunday, 29th for puerto vallarta Mexico. I will say, day 1-3 was hell for me. After that, it has been manageable. I love the Premier Protein shakes strawberries and cream. I enjoy putting all shakes in the blender to make a shake. How are you people doing?

Wishing it was day 8. So far so good. Like you I had awful withdrawals as if I had a hangover. Been using nectar Sweets chocolate Truffle which I love with almond milk and ice shaken. Also I decided to let all my Fams and friends know. I did have one out of all totally against my surgery saying "I don't believe I'm that. It's the easy way out". She doesn't understand and I figure oh well I'm not needing to explain. Other than that I am very thankful you started this thread so we will all support one another.

Good luck! Praying you have a speedy recovery.

Let's see...if I'd bought everything at once I would have needed 14 cups of yogurt, 14 sugar-free jellos, 7 low-fat cream of chicken Soups (which I dilute and strain), 14 packets of sugar-free Carnation Instant Breakfast, 4 1/2 gallon cartons of Mootopia skim milk and, of course, good old Protein Powder for my shakes. I think that's it. Of course, we'll be eating the same stuff post-op, so it will not go to waste if you get extra. Good luck!

Thank you so much I needed an idea.

Anyone have a grocery list for their two week post op? So worried of buying too much when I may need so little.

Anyone else having mood swings and stomach pain? I want to just sleep the next week away:(

Yes I am experiencing mood swings and I just try to keep myself at a safe distance to people. Unfortunately in my line of work I am in direct contact to people so I just hold my tongue the best I can. Once I am on break I go into our Quiet Room to meditate and relax by reminding myself this will pass and feel a whole lot better.

I've discovered the joy of "cream of" Soups. I had a cream of cheddar cheese last night and a cream of chicken tonight. What a difference a little dairy makes in feeling more full!

My nut said two shakes and a lean n green meal. Wish I could have soups, I was suggested to have broth if needed.

Day 4 of of 2weeks pre op liquid diet. It seems like each day gets a little better. Made a Protein Shake using my EAS shakes this morning which was a little more filling than just drinking them straight. July 1st hurry up!!!

I did the same this afternoon using almond milk and put the probiotic along with liquid Vitamin in my shake. And July 1st needs to hurry up!!

I'm a July 1st sleever also. Day 3 was better than day 2, had bad withdrawals yesterday. Just taking it one day at a time is all we can do.

Congrats!!!! I start my preop 2 week prep on Tuesday, surgery is scheduled July 1st.

I am sooo glad my doctor does not require a pre-op diet. The only restriction is the day before surgery. Have a light Breakfast and then only liquids for the rest of the day.

You are so lucky. I have to do two full weeks consisting of two shakes, one lean Protein and veggie.
