I'm on Day 4 of two weeks of liquids. Technically mine will be It's getting easier thank goodness. The 2nd day, I was in a foul mood and angry at anyone & everything! It felt like every cell in my body was screaming for food. It took every ounce of willpower I had to not run screaming from work and go get a cheeseburger from Burger King. I drank lots and lots of Water on Day 2 and when I woke up on Day 3, I felt much better. It must really be like a detox, isn't it?

I am allowed to have Carnation Instant Breakfast packets, Protein shakes, broth, sugar free Jello and limited amounts of sugar free pudding & cottage cheese.

I hope I can keep this up. I will, because it means a safer surgery.

I am just wondering. What seems to be the norm for the pre op diet? My Dr. Says 2 weeks of liquid. Is it the low carbs and sugar free that is of most concern or the fact that we should not eat solid food? I feel like I am starving myself not eating any solids.

The no sugar and low carbs

- YUP! I had a small serving of ham and spaghetti squash the night before my surgery.

Try adding a cup of milk to the EAS chocolate. I really like it that way and it boosts your Protein up 8 more grams!

I drink EAS lite strawberry....good good

I've tried the strawberry cream...the are pretty good. My favorite is the rich dark chocolate.
