How is pre-op diet for everyone going? Mine doesn't start till the 9th....I'm a little nervous, I'm not great at telling myself no, lol

i have not figured out the multi quote thing yet...sorry for all the responses! i just wanted to tell you that i did the liquid diet 5 years ago...and i never thought i could do it! but you will. and you really aren't hungry...it shows you the difference between what they call head hunger and real hunger. the protein shakes make you full...but you want to just eat everything in the house! LOL! you can do it! just post here when you think you cant. :)

My pre op diet is shake for breakfast, shake for lunch, green salad with fat free dressing and a lean solid protein i.e. chicken breast, steak, and another shake after dinner if needed. Any sugar free fluids in addition are fine. This is just what my dr. wants me to do.

Lynn did you see dr tanner more than once before surgery?? I've only seen him once and the only appt I have left is the preop class next week.

After tomorrow I start my clear liquids for my surgery Wed. I am getting emotional thinking about all the foods I can not eat anymore. Seems like I am going through a grief process.

My pre-op is exactly the same- for two weeks. I start Monday. I went and bought a bunch of Lean Cuisine meals for dinners this couple of weeks. Praying for self control. :)

So to those who have already been through surgery how much have your tastes changed afterwards I have been getting sample protein powders and different things to try but was told not to stalk up till I found out what I liked after and what I could handle.... Just wondering if anyone's had drastic changes or just minor ones?
