  3. One Wk to go....need help!

    · diamond65 · 09/18/09 04:08 PM

    I have been on my pre-op Liquid diet for a wk now n am scheduled for surgery next Friday and getting very nervous.
     
    I have been having a little difficulty with the liquid diet n am getting tired of drinking this slim fast. For the most part I am doing pretty good but will find myslef nibbling on a cracker or something...no major meals just a nibble here n a nibble there. For instance I made a huge pot of chicken soup with veggies n took all my broth but snuck in a couple of piece of veggie n chicken....it has been so hard.
     
    I guess I am looking for more encouragement as well as ideas of how to spice up these slim fast drinks as well as what else I can do for the liquid n then what have others done for the post op meals etc...I need ideas n suggestions......PLEASE HELP!
