OMG SunnySandy, I'm going to miss the straw and the diet cokes!!! I will definitely try the a straw a few times, but i'm afraid the diet coke is history.

I love this show too, it is very inspirational, because the people are so real. I think it starts on the 21st Tuesday.

My doctor does not have a pre-op diet either, but i have started protein shakes and am going to do 'no carbs' til surgery. I have used all of your diet options to help me figure out what will work for me. My biggest fear is my diet coke addiction which i have to ditch this week, i will try to switch to iced tea and water... i sure will miss it!

Sorry to hear about your diarrhea!! This is something i will not be looking forward to in a couple weeks! Don't get dehydrated! (click on the ticker, it will take you to where you can create your own and then go to your settings and copy and paste it to your signature.)

I'm not a wine drinker, but i am a diet coke addict, my surgery is coming up and I am trying to cut down, but i hope at some point i can enjoy a can now and then? Anybody know about diet coke post op? My friend said to let it go flat and then drink it, but then i wouldn't want it! Thanks is advance!
