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?

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?

Cramping when sipping too much too fast

Yup. Folders decaf. My doc said decaf tea and coffee is fine! They sell the decaf in a tea bag form. It's really good!

Hello ladies! Just wanted to share, I don't know how many of you have been feeling like I have..... Like I can't get enough to drink, well last night I figured out if I shaved my ice in the snow cone machine, I feel like I am getting a bigger drink without actually getting one. Things are going much better, losing weight daily, I am thinking that's exactly why we all did this. Have a great day!!!

Okay ladies. Wanting to know. Is anyone hungry and feel like the liquid isn't cutting it. My doc said no puréed food until day 14. Is anyone feeling hungry?

Yes!!! I am very hungry! I've been not thinning my soups & only 1/2 blend & strain 1/2 blend only.

Naughty naughty I know, but, its my body & I take responsibility for it.

allons-y

Well, hopefully you don't over do it. I think the worst I did was yesterday, we went to a pumpkin patch farm. I was so weak from being hungry and only drinking water I thought I was going to pass out. I was sitting down and everyone was eating hotdogs, cheeseburgers, ect. I had a piece of cheese off of my hubbies burger. Just the little bite and resting for about twenty minute of resting made a huge difference.

I'm not hungry but I'm bored as hell with these liquids I was put on clear liquids for a whole month I see others are doing other things I don't know how much longer I'm going to last just on clear liquids.
