Hi Everyone,

I received a print out of various recipes from my doctor's office this week and thought I would share them. See attached.

The shakes are for the full liquid stage but the ones at the end are for the mushies stage. Man, I'm hungry! lol

I will probably be getting this same list at my last BEND class. Dr. Kim is my surgeon also

Good luck with your surgery!!! (August 7 is my birthday - good choice in dates! LOL!)

Thanks, you too!!! And happy early birthday! We definitely need to stay in touch. So when is your surgery scheduled with Dr. Kim?

I had the endoscopy yesterday at Forest Park Medical and met a lady there that was having surgery by Dr. Kim on the same day as me. It was pretty cool!

My 2 week liquid diet starts Monday...ugh.

Thanks for sharing. I love collecting the recipes from here for future meals. It give me something to look forward to.. I may have to try some of those shakes out now since I am on my pre-op liquid diet.

You are most welcome. How is the liquid diet going, my fellow August sleever?

Aww thanks cegull for asking. Actually I am impressed/surprised/and worried that the liquid diet is actually moving very smoothly. I've had no problems other than the extra potty breaks from all the extra fluids. I am now day 3 into it, staying satisfied with the shakes (pre-made ones for now) I do find that I am easily tempered or my fuse is wired very short at times. My boys just give me hugs when I get that way, Tell me it will pass, suggest maybe a nap, etc. I've had no headaches, no food cravings, nothing. Thats whats worrying me. I expected this to be very difficult and hard, and since it is going so well, I find myself thinking on the what ifs.

Even though I started my diet earlier than was requested there is an upside of things. I have been staying within the limits of the 800-1000 calorie diet, sometimes finding it hard to hit those numbers, but staying well hydrated , I have managed to drop a few pounds. I was not requested to lose weight for the surgery, but I would secretly hope to lose 20 lbs. If I can lose 17 more lbs I will go into surgery under 300. That would be awesome for me.

Yay!! I am glad to hear everything is going so well. I hope it continues to stay that way for you, lady. That is so cool that our surgeries are 1 day apart.

My 2 day liquid diet starts Monday...ugh.

My surgery probably won't be until October! I just started my 3 mo's of nutrition classes and the last one isn't until September 27!

Wow you only have a 2 day liquid diet?! Thought most everyone has a 2 week liquid diet!

Let's keep in touch

Oops! Sorry...I meant 2 week diet, not 2 day diet lol. Maybe that is wishful thinking!

I only had to do clear liquids day before my surgery!
