I think it's just the swelling that comes with surgery. Right now I can take as much of a drink to wet my thirst down my stomach at one time. I heard it would be difficult the first week.

My original surgery date was 2/5 so I did the preop diet in January. Then I didn't get cleared by the anesthesiologist because he wanted me to do a sleep study to check for sleep apnea, which I have. That "sleep study" took over a month so I stopped the preop diet and continued my food funeral lol. Then I was scheduled for March 19, but I had a cold. Was sent home from the OR. Then they rescheduled me for 4/2. Honestly I was fed up with the back and forth preop diet so I didn't follow it. I ate less and ate healthier but didn't follow it. I was put on Clear Liquids 48 hrs before surgery and that I followed

I am now 6 days postop and am finally feeling better, and already down10. I am struggling with my mental demons with food, but am terrified of the dumping syndrome so I won't even think of veering off in any way. I am pretty happy and just keep looking forward to Stage 2. One week down, one week to go to be moved forward. I can do this. WE can do this!!!

what have you been eating so far ? i need ideas ? my surgery date is 4/23 and i start my liquid diet on 4/10

I am on day 7 pre op. It's hard. Doing better today because I am busy. Good luck to you. My pre op diet is for 14 days. Liquids. I have cheated a few times. Since I started on the 31st of March I have lost 7 pounds. 7 pounds in 6 days! Surgery date is 4/14/14

I have been drinking a lot of broth. Eating Popsicles, pudding, and jello (sugar free). Boost low carb high protein. Cheated a few times. But never eat beef or pork. I did veggie burgers and veggie cheese a few times.
