Hi blessed4

My surgery is Nov 11 also. I am on a liquid fast for two weeks. If your doctor said a clear liquid diet did he give you a clear supplement to mix with Water. If not I would call his office and asked how you will get nutrition for the weeks before surgery.

I do have a product I brought online that you mix with water and it is clear. Maybe he is thinking you should use something like that.

Hi tignet!

Thanks for posting. The sheet they gave me says "clear" but the list consist of sugar free drinks and sodas, sugar free Popsicles and Jello, broth and I can have 1-3 Protein Shakes a day. Where will your surgery be?

Heck yeah!!.... Getting more nervous by the minute. Just got out of my pre-op class and waiting to see the surgeon (which is 2hrs from now). After that I stop buy the Vitamin shop to pick up my unflavored Protein and I'm all set to start.

Deep breath! You will do great. This will all be over before you know it. By Christmas we will be eating again and be pounds lighter. Any discomfort is only temporary and our healthy new life style will be permanant! Start thinking about that summer vacation - and shorts!!!

I think its only natural to be nervous. Its a big deal. Its surgery and the unknown scares us. My surgery is next monday on the 4th. I am nervous but have faith that everything will be ok. My best wishes to you who have your surgery this friday.

Just try your best to trust your providers and know that in the long run this will be the best thing for you! They are all professionals, and they will do their best to make everything smooth and as comfortable as possible for you! Try to focus on your postop goals and guidelines. The surgery part is just a tiny blip on a long road of your journey! Get excited! Your life is about to change!

14 days till I start pee op diet and I'm really worried I'm gone spaz out and eat everything in the house. I know once I get my surgery on the 25th I'll be fine. Any tips on making it through it? Good luck to everyone who is having theirs soon.

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
