The doc wants me to drink 2 carnation instnt Breakfast shakes w/skim milk, plus 2 1/2 eight oz. servings of skim milk 3/4 cup of plain frozen vegies steamed, 3 medium pieces of fruit. for 2 weeks prior to surgery. Did anyone else have this strick of a diet??????

Yep! I was only allowed liquids..period, no fruit no veggies! It's hard, but after the first couple of days it gets much better. I struggled thru the first 4 days and then it was easy. I drank 4 protien shakes a day and Water in between or broth. Good Luck you can do it!!! Just keep your mind set on the goal.

I can't have any fruits, vegetables, etc. I have a full liquid, high Protein diet. I have to get at least 65g of protein per day. I can eat sugar free popsicles, sf pudding, low fat yogurt, strained creamed Soups, broths, skim or 1% milk, etc. Thank God I can have thin Cream of Wheat (I love that stuff!).

Liquied diet only for me too for 2 weeks prior to surgery. I went to CVS Pharmacy and bought their vanilla whey Protein Powder. I added 8 oz of Water and a crystal light on the go packet and shook it up real good. I also added about 4 ice cubes to make it good and cold. Believe it or not this is real tasty. At night to treat myself I would have 2 cups of chicken, beef, or vegetable broth. I made through, though it was tough. Good luck to you!!

I had to do 2 weeks of 4 Protein Shakes and 5-1/2 cups servings of sugar-free pudding, no sugar added applesauce, weight control oatmeal, or low-fat cream Soups (strained). A Half a cup is not much :rolleyes: But I'm happy to say I'm having my surgery on Monday!!!!! Then I have 2 weeks of just liquids to look forward to before going to mushy foods....:frown:.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
