Have my surgery on the 27th of January. I am scared. I start my liquid diet today and over all I have no idea what I'm suppose to eat. I have a small list that's it. I have cried a lot because I am so scared but I don't know if that is normal. Everyone else seems so happy.

You have every right to be scared !!! You are having major surgery and most of us felt that way. After surgery your emotions are all over the place! After your body starts adjusting and all the dust settles is a piece of cake !! I think you are mourning your loss of food, kind of like the love affair is over !! You have a new, healthy you to look forward to !!!! Look at the positive things this surgery will do for you !!!!

I think it's absolutely normal to feel scared. I'm having surgery on the 29th January and I too am scared.

As for the pre op diet...what did your team tell you to have? I am on two high Protein powder shakes per day with one very light meal of lean meat and salad.

Wishing you lots of luck

My team gave me a small list of things that are liquid. I have that for the next ten days. I would like to know what other people do.

Hi I'm almost 4 wks post op. The liquid things I have besides protein drinks are chicken broth and Crystal Light. I buy the ones to make 2qts per packet pour in 4 Dasani bottles mix then pour back into the bottles. That's my 64 oz for the day goal ready to take with me anywhere. You probably know that there are many many flavors. I like the fruity kinds.

Lots of other kinds of water flavorers such as ProPel, too.

Hang in there!
