Since there seem to be quite a few of us now' date=' I thought we should have our own place to talk. I start my preop diet tomorrow. I get 1 meal of meat and veggies, 2 shakes and unlimited Jello. Is anyone else just on liquids?[/quote']

No i get two weeks of Optifast before my surgery

Going insane!! I'm hungry!! I know I start puréed Wednesday, but I'm making some white bean chili right now. It's low fat it's for me to eat this week. It's got onion, celery, ground turkey, white navy Beans that soaked all day and cooked out, two cups chicken stock ( no salt, low fat) and chili powder, and cumin. It smells amazing, and I'll settle for the broth tonight I guess! Booo, I want to blend it!! Help me!!

Ugh I feel like crap today! I keep taking my temperature because I feel like I'm hot, like I'm running a fever. Thermometer keeps saying 98.6. I have a slight headache too. I'm being so paranoid about complications, so I'm blowing this little headache out of proportion. I'm just going to take some Tylenol and keep drinking. Post op Dr appointment tomorrow, he'll set my mind straight

Sorry you feel bad! I had one of those days yesterday!! My hubby said drink Water and had me take some pain Meds. It made me sleep and I felt better after. Sending good thought your way!

I went Friday to have my drain removed, my surgeon requires them for a week following surgery. Hubby took off work to drive me as it is an hour away. Got there and there was a note on the window saying the office was closed until Monday. I started to freak out! I found the number to the main surgical department and the lady at first told me I would need to wait to Monday. I explained that I am not a local and hubby had to drive me. She took my info and promised to call back. I was in tears, I don't know if it was the thought that I was going to have to leave the drain in or the fact that the office didn't bother to let me know they were closed. 15 minutes later I received a call to come to the hospital to have it removed. A resident came in and removed it and I was on my way. About 2 hours later I received a call from my surgeon who was in Arizona at a conference apologizing and admitting it was his fault. Another call today from his nurse apologizing. Other than all of that, I am doing fantastic! I can't wait until Wednesday to have puréed food.< /p>

Happy two weeks!!! I'm sure everyone is excited about eating puréed foods today!! I know this girl is! I'm going to make me a egg white with fat free cheese this morning, and egg and chicken of the sea mix for lunch with fat free mayo and white bean chili for dinner!! Can't wait to hear how everyone is doing!

My 2nd week was soft foods no purée.. I'm tired of this food!! U only get to eat 2 bites.. I have a total of 5 bites. 3 bites of refried Beans and 2 bites of crab salad....

[missypooh 15]

I know what you mean three or four bites and it's over. My concern is that I can't get over 700 calories a day and I can't get over 30 grams of Protein in me a day. Doing some research on line and I figured out that's why I stopped losing weight, not enough calories per day will slow your metabolism down because it's feeding off your muscle. That's worrisome! Just started Vitamins and tomorrow I will do some Protein Shakes to help. Happy two weeks ladies!! :/

OMG!!!! I got them before my surgery and thought they would be great since the protein is so high. THEY WERE HORRIBLE!!!! And expensive! I literally took one sip and threw them out!! I tried the fruit punch. Hope it works out for u. Everyone's tastes are different.

I bought one of them, a blue raspberry one I think. The cashier told me to mix half with Water, cause your body can't absorb that much protein in one sitting, and it'll help with the taste

I woke up feeling awful. I'm burping up this yellow acid and my head is killing me. Anyone else have this?
