Surgery scheduled for October 2nd! Ive gotta say, this pre-op thing isnt nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be! Not craving food, dont miss food. My pre-op consists of 3 instant carnation breakfasts wit simply smart milk, unlimited teas, crystal lights, sugar free pops and sugar free jello....one cup of broth a day, one lowfat yogurt or sugar free pudding a day (I use the pudding mix in my carnation breakfast drink to make it a shake consistency instead) and one serving of fruit a day....and I drink tons of water! Not hungry at all....lost about 13lbs in the last 5 days....feel good, lots of energy....this has been way too easy that its scary! When does it start getting hard? Anyone ever get tired within the pre-op diet of the same thing over and over....? Just curiius as to what to expect.....

Today is my 5th day on clear liquids. It has gotten easier I just feel so sad I don't know if it's because I'm sick over what I have done to myself or because I feel like I'm lost. I have a great support system I just need to buck up I'm having surgery on the 24th of this month. I'm trying to stay positive because I want my life back I just feel alone and I know I'm not because I have all of you great people on here. So thanks for letting me read your posts!

How did the surgery go?

I have a preop diet for 10 days, consisting of 2 shakes and one sensible meal. Last 2 days clear only. I had my shake this morning, then an apple, then a shake then edamame and finally tuna fish with lowfat 15 cal mayo with lettuce and tomatoes Does this sound like im complying?

In less than 12 hours I'll be in the operating room. I've been on the liquid diet since last Wednesday, so a week. My diet has been just four things.

2 cups of bullion Soup once or twice a day.

5 Premier Protein chocolate drinks a day.

Crystal Light, about 5 glasses a day.

Two or four sugar free Jello snack packs.

Have had four single sugar free Popsicle's the whole week.

I have not felt hungry once but did crave carbs yesterday. If I didn't feel full it would have bothered me but what's unbelievable is each night I feel like I've over eaten but I've lost 10 lbs. My biggest worry now is not being able to eat for awhile.

I have avoided watching Diner's, Drive-Ins and Dives and Man vs. food though all week.
