Those on the liquid pre-op diet' date=' can you guys have SF Fudgesicles?[/quote']

No for me here! I can only have see through things. broth, Jello, etc. I can have my Protein shakes with milk instead of Water though, that's all I can do not see through. But I am looking for more ideas, so...if anyone has any good sugar free clear ideas then please post them!

How is everyone doing on pre-op? Today is my 7th day...it is much easier now then before. I have to work harder to get ALL the drinks down...I'm on New Direction Weight Control System packets along with sf Jello, popsicles etc. I'm so worried...I was in a situation where someone brought food for me to eat surprisingly (they, along with most everyone else doesn't know I'm having the surgery). I had a very very small bite of what they brought so it seemed that I ate. I really hope those two - three small bites don't cause my surgery to be postponed....thoughts? Think it will be ok? It was back on day 3 or 4. Other than that I think I'm doing pretty good, getting in lots of water-that seems to be key in loosing the weight...9 lbs down this week!

Some people don't even have to do a pre op diet at all, or some are allowed to have 1 low carb meal every day. Some only have a 3 day diet. I really don't think 3 bites is anything to worry about. I straight up told my surgeon I would cheat on Monday, I had a huge hard final and I would never have gotten through it on Protein shakes and sugar free Jello. A few bites won't kill you. My surgeon even told me if you really need something you can have some lean Protein. Don't stress at all, you didn't do any damage.

I'm at the hospital waiting to have my chest xrays....I completed all of my other pre-op tests...this is the last one and then they will send them in. They let me do it with my family dr. Since I live 3 hours away. I am ready but getting more and more anxious....I hope that I am able to feel ok for my kids in Christmas. I go back to work on

[lexybloch 12]

Jan. 3 and the kids come back that Monday...I've been on the pre op diet since Thursday and I have not lost any weight....I don't get it

First day of pre-op diet (protein shakes & 1 sensible meal), and I've had horrible diarrhea. Anyone else?

Probably just due to the drastic food change. Some bowels are quite sensitive.

Mio is really good, although a little high priced.

Today is my 7th day on the liquid diet. I'm down 12lbs. I found the Swanson's broth (Chicken,Beef, Vegetable) to be really gross. I've been making Campbell's chicken Noodle Soup and straining the noodles. The first few days I was drinking 4-5 shakes a day and now I'm down to 2-3. I am not really a fan of SF Water flavorings but I found Crystal Lite Pink Lemonade to be good.
