Hi everyone,

I have my surgery in 8 days and have been on the liquid diet for 9 days. I could really use a buddy, please.

Thanks,

K

Hi Kdiden, this is a great site. Are you getting excited for your surgery. I know I was excited and scared. I just had my surgery on Dec. 30th. It was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I would do it again in a heart beat.

Thanks, Froggy and Beth.

I am excited, but keeping my head down and taking it one day at a time. I find this pre op liquid diet to be so challenging! I have stuck to it though. Tonight has been a tough night too... Super Bowl Day is like food HOLIDAY! I wonder if the mental part will subside a little post op!

Plenty of buddies for you here! I had my surgery 12/30/13 (RNY) I did catch the flu in the hospital and bronchitis when I was recovering at home, but I'm feeling good and am down 30 lbs! There are many people who are considerate and helpful on here and threads chocked full of info for you to browse. You're gonna feel great!!

Thanks, LeanMean! So good to hear you're feeling better! May I ask, what are your fav. Protein liquid/smoothie recipes? I've started to delve into recipes and they're so MANY!

I bought a few cases of Premier Protein shakes in chocolate flavor. They taste good, best really cold and have 30g protein in each 11oz carton. I also bought a container of unflavored Unjury Protein Powder to throw into recipes for added protein. I tried experimenting with the unjury powder and like hot chocolate sugar free, ice,Greek yogurt, half a banana, and almond milk. Yum!

I feel your pain. I am on the pre-op liquid diet right now and it is so tough trying to stick to it. My procedure is scheduled for Feb 20 and the anxiety is starting to build. Guess you just gotta keep putting one foot in front of the other, right?
