And I must say, the pre-op diet SUCKS.

My date is on January 7th, and can not wait.

The preop diet was hard but not bad.

So now I am waiting for the call with time of surgery

I have to say it seems like people are all over the place wiht the prescribed diets. I have been good but not perfect. My surgery is Jan 9.

Good luck to you all... the post op diet is no picnic either, but even more important than the pre-op to let your body heal. Good luck to you all!

8:15 Monday morning, only one more day. Made broth and froze it today, did my clear liquid shopping. Church tomorrow morning, and then figure out how to take my mind off it in the afternoon. Been craving comfort foods even though I am not really hungry, more nerves than anything else.

2 days out from surgery and I am very happy with the results. Moderate pain, very little nausea and no vomiting and most importantly no hunger. The restriction is getting better as my swelling goes down and drinking has become too easy. I need to think while I am drinking, not just engage auto pilot. I did 2-30 minute sessions on the treadmill yesterday, and I am on track for 2-45 minute sessions today.

PreOp was the Worst. Protein Drinks. I wish someone would have warned me to include some FIBER.

Hey Terry! We have the Same Surgeon! I had to do a Double Take. Let me know if You have any Questions about it. It has been a learning experience.
