I survived the all liquid diet yesterday and I drank abotu 3 Protein Shakes yesterday giving me a total of 75g Protein yesterday and probably tons of carbs from the white grape juice. I'm drinking the magnesium around lunch time and I pray my 12 month old will go down for a nap so that I can hang out in the bathroom lol. I'm getting nervous about tomorrow but I'm pretty confident that I will be fine. Praying I don't have a panic attack while walking to the surgery unit. My husband is being very supportive and he gets a week off from work. Today I had to turn in my urine so they could do the routine pregnancy test. I'm praying I'm the 1st surgery of the day tomorrow. Good Luck everyone

Looks like we are going to have to start an Octosleevers Losers bench thread on the post op side so we can all stay together throughout this process ...

You're not lyin'. I'm on day 2 of 14. Actually doing well & QUITE surprised I don't have a caffeine headache. Maybe there's just enough chocolate in the shakes & bars that my body isn't going into complete withdrawal.

[NDN_RN 527]

I got bombarded with everything today from my visit, I will be on a clear liquid diet the day before and I gotta drink mirolax I thought I was getting it easy and instead of one night I'll be in there for two nights

I figured that might ruffle some feathers yes, I am glad to have something to chew. I'm on Optifast 800 & eat 5 meals a day. 3 have to be shakes but the other 2 can be bars. I am also allowed plain celery &/or plain cucumber slices if I need something else to chew. But I'll be in your same boat after the surgery...
