Soup is a great go to , but I have found that it really goes right through the stomach. So I have avoided cream soups because they tend to be high in calories with no "filling" sensation. That said, a cup of good soup in the evening seems to fill the old void of Doritos and a couple beers

This site is great! Just one of my incisions has a super dark bruise. I come on this site, search the topic, Presto! Mystery solved. Worries alleviated!

Just had my first protein drink. Unjury unflavored powder with a BodyArmor superdrink. Only 8 oz. It took me 40ish minutes, but I did it! I'll wait another 10 and start on water. Want to stay hydrated.
All fluids count towards my total 64 oz, right? Even the protein drink?

My insurance wouldn't cover it either. I went to Mexicali. If you travel through San Diego Airport there is a Thai restaurant in there. It's called Saffron. They have a chicken broth for a good price, and tastes delightful!

I only had one injection right before surgery.

I'm 2 days post op. Just removed my drain today, and I got broth. That seemed to be a big deal. So, YAY! I did my barium swallow, and saw my tiny stomach. The surgeon said it was "pretty". I have a taken a shower, and I feel a solid ok. Yesterday was a little rough. I could not hold down fluids very well, and my IV infiltrated. I didn't walk enough. I did not have enough fluids, but today I seem on the up and up. I leave tomorrow morning to go back home. I am going to take it nice and easy. Lets get ready to SLENDERIZE!!!!

My surgery is tomorrow, and I was told I would get a last meal the day before. New policy just implemented. Liquid only! .....daDaDAAAAA. Woe is me!
I guess after my post op diet will be that much sweeter!

Hooray for a "solid ok"! Hope you get some good sleep tonight and a safe trip home tomorrow.

I started keto at the beginning of January. It has not been too brutal. I have surgery on Wednesday. I have the same mindset as TatooedSeaStar about getting used to no more carbs, and being at peace with it. I have had 3 cheats all month. I am a little worried about the liquid diet post op. I got my eye on the prize, though.

You mean like having a "food funeral" of a bunch of bad foods while you could still have them? Sure, that's common.

Mine is on Wednesday as well!
