I am about to start my 10 day pre-op liquid only diet. {NOT FUN}

I know I am suppose to have broths, and Protein drinks. They say not have any juice, I understand that but, Why can't I blend a banana or strawberries with my Crystal Light? It's still Sugar Free! I just don't know how you banders have done it? I am so nervous, I may just say Forget the whole thing.

ANY ADVISE? :eek:

wow stephanie.

sounds like you're doing great.

i only have about 3 more days till my surgery date. I just now decided to try to stick to some kind of diet.

I wonder if three days is really going to make a difference.

I decided to eat as little as possible till my surgery. Hope that helps some.

:nervous :Banane20: I didn’t get the kitchen in to the condition I wanted. I have way to much STUFF around.

:help: I have 10 days till I find my gold at the end of this rainbow.:clap2:

I found Joe Robb’s Protein drink at our local Henry’s and it’s not bad. I put ice cubs in it and I need to chew in order to get it down. I remember my mom doing this when she was on Optifast. She said that it took care of or chewing fixation.

My youngest DS was so cute. He could see that I was frustrated and he wanted to make me Breakfast. He asked if he could bring me Cereal, yogurt or even make me some toast. I told him that for the next few weeks I won’t be able to eat anything, only drink.:Banane20:

I’ve been working w/my kids on what I’m doing and why. Both my DSs have seen TV shows that talk or show the procedure. My DDs are only 4 and they’re not sure about it but try to understand.

Ok; I’ve been told that I need to get ready for a Padre game (that DH was supposed to go to w/the boys but he now has my sore throat). This will be hard, smelling and seeing all that food. I was hoping my first day would be calm.:help:

~~___________~~

Okay; I went to the game and came out a winner. I thought I might have problems w/seeing all that food. Well I didn't :clap2: I didn't even want any of it.

I’ve gone through my first day and survived!

When my DSs and I came home we picked up the rest of the family and went to Souplantation and while they had food I had soup broths. I will need to have my other protein soon too. I’ve only had the one from this morning. I’m okay right now but I know I should have one before I go to bed.

Well I’m proud of myself for accomplishing this first day!!:bananajump: :clap2:

HEY Thanks all and GOOD LUCK Mr Yo on your diet and the band
