    It is SO nice to be able to come on here and feel like I am not the only one struggling with the pre op diet!! I am almost done-YAY!!! Been a LONG 8 days and if I see another Carnation Instant Breakfast again it will be too soon!! I am going to have to find something else for post op! 5 shakes a day ruins you on it! Hope everyone can hang in there and just keep in mind how much this is all going to pay off...that is what helps me! Surgery the 27th-I CANNOT WAIT!!! Good luck to everyone!
