Yeah I've done so good on this pre-op diet.

My surgery is tomorrow morning and so today I'm on Clear liquids only and yet I'm DYING for a cup of coffee.

Isn't it weird how knowing you can't have something makes you want it SOOO BAD.

Sigh....

Oh..and I'm getting REALLY nervous about all of this!

Ladies, just 11 days away from my big day! I have to admit, feeling overwhelmed trying to figure out exactly how my eating will be. On clear liquids, this means Water based correct? Meaning no Protein shakes, only powder in something like crystal light? Sorry, my head is just spinning, it truly will be a lifestyle change... I don't want to buy a bunch of stuff just to not like it later so I really want to make sure I am doing the right things on what I need for the first 10 days, etc.

So does clear liquid really mean something that you could see through? Of a water type consistency?

Its gettin close kiddo.

Youll be amazed at how easy it is once you get over the initial shock of surgery.

Yea... clear liquids are water based. I ordered on the internet from BariWise. Its a catelouge for bariatric patients. I got a bunch of drink packets that are just like crystal lite only 15 grams of protien. My favorites are grapefruit and pinapple/orange. I fill up my water bottle with two packes and give it a splash of apple juice just so I get a few carbs and I'm loaded for the day. They also have powdered chicken Soup that has abt 15 grams and you can have that when your sick of sweert stuff.

Another good online source is Bariatric Advantage.

Hope that helps
