I am on my first day of pre-op diet too, and I think it depends on what your doctor says. I am allowed one small meal a day, supplimenting shakes for the other two. Outside of that I can have sugarfree Jello, or sugarfree popsicles. I would recommend that you call your doctor's office and ask them. They will be able to tell you exactly what your allowed and not allowed. Good Luck!

On day 1 and 2 I of pre-op diet I had to do an all liquid diet. Now I an allowed two shakes and one frozen meal of 300 calories or less. I am mildly surprised the liquid diet was not that bad. Trust me when I say I love to eat which is why I am weighing what I do 260 and I am only 5'3. To me the end will be worth it. Don't give up it is only temporary. You will reach your goal. My surgery date is 12.23.10. I can't wait.

Well I thought I would die the first 2-3 days on the liquid diet! Thought about eating everything around me but I didn't. The popsicles helped a lot. I am 4 weeks post-op so I survived, and you will too. It is hard but it gets you ready for the "after", not just physically but mentally. If you start learning how to sip your shakes and Water now, you will not make yourself uncomfortable after the surgery by taking large swallows.

I start my clear liquid diet tomorrow. I'm a bit anxious and nervous about it. My surgery is planned for Monday, the 27th. It seems that many here on the site have to be on their liquid diets for a much longer period of time. For me, it will only be 8 days. I wonder why there are so many variances.

I'm also a bit nervous about dealing with Christmas. I'm hostessing. I just have to wrap my brain around the whole thing and stay focused!!!

Merry Christmas everyone..... and for us... it's going to be an amazing 2011!!! biggrin.gif

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
