Just ordered the sample pack of Millie's Sipping Broth. Hopefully it will help me.

I've been tempted to drink some juice. Figure my body must need something from them to crave them this bad.

Since I'm on liquids I couldn't have one anyway.

I've wanted a pickle soooo bad all day today. Ugh!

It is terrible getting info out of insurance reps. Ask for someone in the prior authorization department. Good luck!

Congratulations!

I was thinking about making some pho broth and my own stocks so I can have a variety of tastes. But when I cut veggies for stock I tend to nibble on them. Has anyone else come up with good homemade broths or soups that are different than plain broth?

Thanks @Frmamomzeyez! I've already got the headache. Even my hair hurts.

Thanks J San! Strange how tastes can change after surgery.

It wouldn't hurt to call your insurance to see if your PCP visits are acceptable. Have you seen her every single month for 6 months? If your insurance has specific requirements that weren't met by your PCP a letter won't be useful in bypassing their policy. Like others have said, the time goes quickly & it prepares you for surgery. My surgery is 2 weeks from today & even though I went through a 6 month program to get here I'm starting to freak out thinking I don't know what I'm doing with the diet & such. Good luck!

How much protein are you getting in? I can't go 3 hours without anything either. About 2 to 2.5 hours during the day seems to be my limit.

My surgery is scheduled for Aug 23. Today I started my liquid diet.

The right answer is no but you have to do what will be best for you mentally. I started today & went out for steak last night.

Started my 2 week liquid diet today and boy have I been whiny!

Thanks! Today is day 1 of my liquid diet and I'm struggling!

Glad you were well enough for surgery. I'm getting so scared of this gas pain. You're welcome. Wishing you a super speedy, pain free recovery!

Thursday I start the liquid diet & the nerves are really kicking in.

How are you feeling this evening?

How are you doing?

It is great to have people here for support! Welcome!

@Starr2015 hope you feel great when you wake in the morning and can have surgery as planned.

My gallbladder was laparoscopic, as was my hysterectomy. I'm hoping this surgery will be also.

How does the gas pain for this compare to gas pain after gallbladder removal?

Thanks! Oh how I wish there was a Wegmans near me. I love their stores.

My 2 week liquid diet starts next Thursday. This week I've eaten terribly. I've got a list of foods to eat by then.
