I had my surgery on 08/27/08. The pre op diet that my surgeon had me follow was pretty strict. All low-no fat and sugar free liquids. I ate alot of cream of chicken soup and tomato soup. I also never want to eat sugar free jello again. But it was pretty easy compared to the post op diet I had to go through. With the pre op diet, you know that you are working towards a goal. You want to have the surgery, so you are doing everything you can to achieve this. The post op diet is harder, because you can have more foods, but you should not start introducing hard solid foods for a month. Just do what your doctor says and everything will be great.
