Me too, I'm nervous. ..

This has not been easy post op. I had surgery May 8 so I'm post op day 4. I am no where close to meeting my protein intake yet, I'm getting water down a little better but not where I should be. I have a constant feeling of being so full/ over stuffed that's it's hard to sip anything. I had 2 teaspoons of tomato soup yesterday for variety ( I was put on full liquids on day 2), the soup was gross, it's weird but this surgery does change the way food tastes. I have done some walking, my energy levels are still low. I have my one week follow up this Friday I hope things are better by then, I'm supposed to try to eat a couple bites of an egg before I go in. I hope you're all doing well & good luck to you all having surgery this week!!

I never comprehended how we are suppose to get protein in when it's a clear liquid diet for 7 days(for me anyways)

My surgery is Monday at 7:30am. I am getting very nervous and excited all at the same time. I can hardly believe it is this close. I went today and had my hair done and got a pedicure as my mother's day gift from my family. I have been on my pre op diet since the 28th of April and have done very well with it. All the nervousness is getting to me. Really need some encouragement.

Good Luck Kraeok!

Nolagirl I agree, even on full liquid at this stage it is not easy.

Starting my pre-op diet with semi food and protein shakes. Clear liquids on 21st till midnight and surgery on 22nd!

Good luck to all having surgeries this week!

Hope all are recovering well after their procedures!

Keep us updated!

I had my surgery on May 9, was discharged from the hospital yesterday. This is surely harder than I expected, I think I have a rather high tolerance to pain but this is rough. I'm experiencing pretty much the same thing as joleneB...feeling over full & bloated just trying to get my liquid down. I'm supposed to have 1 oz every thirty minutes for the remainder of today, then start the full liquid diet tomorrow. I bought Nature's Best protein powder; it has 50g of protein per 12 oz, I tried it pre-surgery and it actually tastes ok! I can't drink it yet post-surgery, I have a fruit flavored clear protein powder from the weight loss center that, unfortunately, only has 15g of protein per 8 oz, but that's all I'm allowed to have right now. Just trying today to get close to my protein requirement. I'm holding on to the hope that every day, every hour this gets easier.

Hello everyone! I am on day 11 of my 14 day pre-op diet. My surgery is Friday and I am so excited! I don't have a time yet but I know I'm ready! Lol I am so glad to have this forum everyone is so caring and informative and for that I say thank you. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers!

Tomorrow is the big day! 6am!! Thankfully my dr only makes you do a 24 preop diet of clear liquids.... Soup get boring! Not being able to chew actual food is hard. And the magnesium citrate is for the birds! But it will all pay off in the long run!! Eeeekk I'm excited!! Finger crossed!
