I had a long group appt today with 5 other patients having surgery the same week.

I had planned on following Dr and dietician orders to a "t".

I was also under the impression I'd be without coffee and on a liquid 2 week pre-op diet.

Found out decaf coffee and tea is allowed before and after surgery. I can deal with that:)

Also the 800 cal pre-op includes some actual chewable food even though they are all protein supplement foods that the office requires.

So I came home with oatmeal, soup, bars and shakes and a few pasta meals.

All ready to start MIJourney tomorrow!

very cool for ya...my Dr. only requires a 5 day clear liquid diet....but the 2 things that will be my saving grace are the sherbert and the jello that we can have...it is the couple of things of sustance we can have...major difference from what I have see others to be able to have on the 2 week diet...

Good luck! You can do this!
