[Suzanne02780 12]

Starting my pre-op diet tomorrow. Have to admit I'm pretty scared. I am I have no clue what to expect. I know that I have to replace two meals with Protein Drinks , have to Protein Snacks, one sensible meal, and if get hungry at night, I can have more shake. How has it been for everyone else?

My surgery is June 25th and like some of the other people on here I am not allowed many choices. I have to be on liquids for 10 days. The diet consist of Water, broth, and 3 servings of diary daily. I can have sugar free Gelatin, popsicles.

Don't cheat because GW will know if you did! I used to sit up in the ICU waiting room and drink my shakes, away from the cafeteria and food! I told GW that two week diet shows you what you're dr of! I dropped 20 pounds on it!

Hi everyone. 4 days post oo and not feeling to well. How is everyone else?

[mom2dle 7]

I am also 4 days post opp. Trying gentle walking and tasks and still taking pain meds for soreness. A little confused about clear liquid. If we are supposed to sip sip sip Water are we stretch stretch stretching the pouch? So glad to be in this side if process.

[Suzanne02780 12]

Not sure how it works, but I know my doctors instructions are sipping 2 ounces every 15 min.

Dear Suzanne, that helps a lot. My Dic talked about remembering a sip or two of Water at each commercial break, which is essentially the same. Thank you for your reply. I actually slept in bed last night versus the recliner. Again, progress ???¸
