I had to do the two week liquid pre op diet.All I could have was broth,cream soups with skim milk,cream of wheat two servings max,sugar free popsicles, sugar free jello.I also quit me diet coke that same day.I was a bxxxx for the first four days,I hung up on my husband every day on the phone.I got used to it.But the thought of jello or broth at the end made me sick.I did not eat alot these two weeks.The positive,I lost 29 pounds.I had my sugery March 15-07 and I have only lost 8 pounds in over 6 weeeks.So when I look back I am glad I had to do the liquid diet to get some pounds off.I get my first fill on Tuesday.I did not get to use protein or slimfast etc.
