Since there seem to be quite a few of us now, 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?

Hi everyone! Sorry it's been days since I posted' date=' I have been miserable, it hurts to drink, I can't hardly eat anything, lots of gas bubbles with every drink or bite. This morning my family made me a berry smoothie, it's the first thing I could get down without much pain. I have been waking up every two hours at night, waking up early and taking a afternoon nap. I have been feeling kinda weak, but I am sure it's from the lack of food I hope y'all are doing better then I have been doing. I guess the only good point in this for me so far is that I have lost a total of 16 pounds, 10 before surgery and six since. Looking for easier days.[/quote']

I hope it starts to get better soon. I have wondering about smoothies. I think I would like to try one of those. Keep trying and it will get better.

U guys are doing great on getting liquids down.. I'm like 12 oz of water but not including the 4 oz of broth I am downing.. Clear liquids... Shoot I might stay on clear liquids another week...I'm day 4 and 11 lbs down.

Yeah the smoothies have been easier to get down. Things are looking a little brighter. Small sips and belching afterwards. Those little air bubbles hurt. It takes me a hour and a half to eat a small container of applesauce. I went and bought a faberware cup blending set for $20 bucks and it's really does a good job a the purée, It just takes time to get the smoothie down. It's an adjustment I am slowly learning. Glad to see your doing ok

Good morning and Happy 1 week anniversary to you also!!! I am doing much better, it turns out that I developed acid reflux from the procedure and taking Previcid to help with all that acid bubbling up and I also was told instead of getting up at 4am to eat something to calm my tummy to take some chewable Tums and it worked!!!! I am 12lbs down in a week and things look much better! Have a great day! Nice to hear your doing well!

Yay anniversary! I feel like I did before my surgery. A little tired, but then I've got chronic thyroid issues. I even slept on my stomach last night!

Happy 1 week anniversary!!! Can't believe it's been a week!! So happy that I decided to do this!! A little sore if I move the wrong way but other than that I feel fabulous!!!

Happy one week anniversary! I'm down 12 lbs, I don't feel any pain from incisions. I am struggling to get my goal liquids in. Just 6 days until I get to make my own soup! Can't wait for that!

Gotta share girls!! If anyone is a coffee junkie like me with flavored creamers. My hubby just me a perfect treat! Sugar free Peppermint mocha and pumpkin pie spice! Yummy

That's what I'm eating now... Taste so good after eating chicken broth for 6 days straight. Have you had any lower abdomen cramping or felt any burning?
