My liquid diet allows me 1 egg/yogurt/glass of milk a day. In addition to my 4 Protein Shakes and Clear Liquids. I have NEVER found an egg to be so delicious as I do now!! 🤣 I bow down all chickens for making such a yummy treat! 🤣😂

I've had a small persistent headache I believe due to no caffeine. I thought I was being smart and using the Premiere cafe latte Protein Shake, but then learned it has caffeine! The clear liquid stage is kickin' my hiney, but I'm hanging in there. You can do it too!

Hey everyone! I’m a week post op! I had to stay an extra day in the hospital because the nursing staff wasn’t sure what I was supposed to be doing. Doing pretty well but I’m ready to move out of the liquid stage. I was up 11 pounds from my pre-surgery weight when I got home and still three pounds over today. I’m hoping I can have some puréed food soon. I’m over Protein shakes!

Oh wow guys! This is it. The last we weekend before we go into our surgery month! To those of you who are going in the first half of the month, best of luck. I can’t wait to hear about your successes (and to commiserate with you if you need it at any point)! For those of us in the 2nd half of the countdown, we’re almost there! So excited/nervous. This weekend I’m doing a kitchen overhaul/purge. Going to donate all the food I can no longer have so that my kitchen is clean and only full of the things that will bring me success. Anyone else doing anything specific to prep? Eeek. I feel like squealing! Lol

I definitely like it better than the Gatorade. The only way I could finish a bottle of the Gatorade was to mix it with almost equal parts Water. I was thinking that maybe that’s what I will do rather than using things like Crystal Light when I want a little something flavorful in my water. I’ll mix these with my water. That way I’ll have Protein in my water but it won’t be an overwhelming flavor. I have a bottle of unflavored Liquid Protein on its way to me but I don’t trust that I can put that in my water without it giving it a funky taste. I’m curious about those protein chicken broths and puddings that I bought. I might have one of those today to see how it goes. And if I like it. My liquids start next Monday (8/8) and I want to make sure I’m ready to go. I wonder if anyone else has tried them or something like them.

I just went through all of my cabinets and got rid if of EVERYTHING I can’t use. I wish I had taken before pictures. There was sooooo much in there that I didn’t even know I had! Lol. Lots of expired stuff too 🤷🏻‍♀️. I ended up with a big box of donations stuff and two garbage bags worth of junk to throw away. My fridge is next. I’m too tired to tackle it right now though!

i second @heartofmercury’s sentiment. Today I begin liquids. I just know days 1-3 are going to be hard because I’ll likely get a headache from all the sugar and bad stuff leaving my system. Anyone else experience headaches?

Hi there my surgery date is scheduled for August 22nd . I plan on taking 5 weeks off of work.

Starting my liquids today also. I tried tapering off sugar and caffeine leading up to today, hoping that helps. Hope that things go smoothly for you.

Best of luck to all those having their surgery this week!

Good luck to everyone having surgery today! You've got this.

Continuing from my previous post…. One more thing I purchased was a multi-compartment pill organizer for my vitamins!😁

Welcome! Do you have a pre-op diet you’re on? Are you excited?

I bought one of those too! I bought one that is for 32 days I found on Amazon! So I can fill it up once a month and just grab what I need and go. I have been using it for the past 3 weeks and its worked wonderfully! I’ve been watching a ton of videos too. Sadly I’m more of a food assembler than a cook. I can put together a mean sandwich! Lol. So I want to try to make some of things I’ve seen like the Ricotta bakes, at some point but honestly I’m a little intimidated by that. Lol. 😰

I got the Barimelts! I finally bit the bullet and just ordered! Thanks for the suggestion:)

Oh wow guys! This is it. The last we weekend before we go into our surgery month! To those of you who are going in the first half of the month, best of luck. I can’t wait to hear about your successes (and to commiserate with you if you need it at any point)! For those of us in the 2nd half of the countdown, we’re almost there! So excited/nervous. This weekend I’m doing a kitchen overhaul/purge. Going to donate all the food I can no longer have so that my kitchen is clean and only full of the things that will bring me success. Anyone else doing anything specific to prep? Eeek. I feel like squealing! Lol
