So surgery is Feb 20th. Preop diet starts Feb 10th.

I'm consumed with wanting everything I know I will not be able to, and will not allow myself to eat!

Yes, I had a few food funerals. I made it, I'm 9 days away from surgery. Pre-op isn't that bad, just like any other diet that I have done time and time again, except this one will certainly end differently! Best of luck on the 20th~

I'm suppose to go out for my "last meal" Saturday with my husband. I requested sea food- scallops, shrimp, crab....

I am also having food funerals...surgery scheduled for Feb. 25th! Still having difficulty kicking my coffee habit... Good luck to you! Keep us all posted - hugs!

Yes good luck to us all!

I stopped caffeine and all carbonated drinks 3 weeks ago. This past week has been my hault on Advil, (which I was an addict too) Tylenol sucks. Trying to lower the carb intake now until Sunday. Oh stopped alcohol this past Sunday.

I've also had a few food funerals; pizza, french onion soup, cookies, diet soda....

Why French onion soup? And can someone explain why no caffeine?

French onion soup has lots of cheese on top. Caffeine irritates the lining in your stomach

I can have caffeine until surgery day. I stopped the wine at the beginning of my pre-op. I am 1 week away and have lost 9 lbs. I had 1 rough day, and a slight headache today. Other than that, it's been okay. I am so focused on the end result that I think that is why I am doing okay. And... my Doc said when I check in next Thursday, he will ask me if I have followed the diet, and when he gets in there he will know because of the size of my liver. All of my tests are great, so I think I can suffer a few more days. Good Luck everyone!

Check with your doc as all are different, but French onion soup should be fine post op. cheese has good Protein values.

Currently my french onion soup consists of more cheese than soup lol

I love French onion soup!! I'm four months post op.

Yes good luck to us all!

Well one more day on liquid diet and then SURGERY!! Cannot believe it is so close. Tomorrow is going to drag. Went to movie tonight with my daughter and the smell of popcorn was torturous. But the new beginning is in sight. Praying for you all.
