I too am on pre-op diet. Are you getting any protein? Protein is very important, both now and after. Can you drink protein shakes? My favorite is Pure Protein. 30 g protein. Everyone has their preference.

I started mine Monday.. It's been hard ???? I have 3 carnation essentials shakes a day plus 1 yogurt and sugar jello pops and broth..

I would love soup! Haha are u on it for 2 weeks?

Good luck!!!

Oops just saw yours is the 20th.. Mine is the 25th. What about you Caroline?

I'm on the 22nd!

I did end up having a muscle milk protein drink at work! I really want to try the unjury chicken broth and the unflavored so I can mix it in with juices and things like that! I'm just doing one week so hopefully all goes well! The first day haven't been too bad!

I start mine the 21st for December 6 surgery. Not looking forward to it t all, since I always look forward to thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, but ultimately I know that missing this one year will probably add 30+ years to my life.

2nd day glad I'm allowed soups but so far do good! I slept really good last night so that was a plus!! I gotta push myself on the water could only get in 32 ounces yesterday!!!

I'm on the 20th also==we're surgery twins--I wish you the best of luck (and to everyone else on their upcoming surgeries). I started my liquid diet last thursday---A couple of days were pretty tough--I think from withdrawal from carbs--it's better now but I'm pretty weak. It will be here before we know it though--from what I've heard, it's not quite as hard after since you aren't that hungry--(I pray that this is true!)

If you like spices or hot sauce that will give it flavor! For dinner I had cream of chicken and put in just a bit of franks buffalo hot sauce! Gave it some flavor and made it better to eat! Lol! I know they td us after we get sleeved and if we can handle it use sauces to spice things up! The weekend will be more challenging for me but I'm gonna keep busy cleaning house ect...

WE'RE SURGERY TWINS!!!!! My date is the 25th also!

Yay!! Princess jazz are you on your pre op yet? Mine started Monday.. Getting excited!!!
