Check with your NUT but our pre-op diet you can have sherbert and I believe that will be a my saving grace for substance...it was actually on our list of things for clear liquid diet.< /p>

I am a newbie. My surgery is May 14 and I start my liquid diet tomorrow. My nut allows low fat cream Soups and even cream of wheat or grits (no fat) At least it is something to chew, sort of.

sugar free Popsicles are good to substitute for pure liquid. When I got really hungry I ate a piece of string cheese.< /p>

I have tried the tropical popsicles. I think they will be very helpful. One of my fears is being at work and hungry. It will test my customer service skills for sure. How do you have dinner with family drinking a shake while they eat as usual?

I sit in an office all day. That is partly to blame for all the weight i put on the last 10 years. My friends at work even threw a "lifestyle wake" for me at work today with all my fav foods. They called it phat friday.

The pre op diet is the magic count down. I know I can do this. I am worthy. The visalus shakes taste pretty good. It won't be forever. . . it will only seem like it. Boy, one second i psych myself up and the next i kick my self.

Thanks for your support. It really does help to talk to someone that has been there or are in the trenches with you.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
