I just came home from a crab boil, you know, crabs corn potatoes, sausages giant bowls of shrimp... What did I have? I glass of unsweetened tea. I'm on day 10 of my 15 day liquid pre- op diet . It smelled wonderful but I'm proud of myself for not cheating!

Good job!! That's a tough one.

Keep it up!

Wow, seriously impressive! Good job

I would have had trouble with that one...good job! You should be proud of yourself

Good for you that happened to me today. Went to a buffet with my family N I only had my chicken broth and yes everything smelled good lol my mom was like you don't want a small piece of cake l was like no thank you!!

Mmmmmmmm....crab boil... I spent my college summers on the Maryland/Virginia shore as a marine science major and LIVED on crab and shrimp boils. Awesome restraint!

Congrats! You should be proud. I had my surgery on Dec.26 so I was on the liquid diet for 2 weeks prior. I am Italian so not being able to eat during the Christmas holidays was torture and I hosted Christmas day! But I did it! The proudest time of my life!

Good for you!! I'm almost two weeks out from surgery... I had to do a two wk liquid diet prior and that encompassed my birthday and the fourth. I did not cheat!!! I am still on a liquid diet and I will be till I see the surgeon on the 30th. I feel so good since I had the surgery not being able to eat ah a been rough. I'm not hungry but I just want something different. I am lucky that I can have yogurt and SF pudding but after almost a month it is getting old. My family has hugely benefitted because I've become obsessed with food TV (sadistic I know) and they have had a home cooked meal every night for the last week and half and yes that is how good I feel since surgery. All I can say is I am really looking forward to my appointment and pureed food, which previously didn't think I wanted to do.... I was just going to keep doing liquids and wait for soft foods, but now pureed sounds great!!!'

Good for you!! That would be hard for me right now. (I'm having my surgery in 3 days.) *applause*

Mothers ... why do they do that?

Us: I can't eat those mushrooms. I'm deathly allergic to them.

Mother: Here, sweetie, just a small bite. With a little bit of my parmesan cream sauce.

We all should be proud of ourselves! Great job everybody!!

wow, good for you!!

Awesome! you've got your eye on the prize!

@skylark you should be commended, I know that must have been hard. I am on the last day of my pre-op diet, I did pretty good, but it was hard. Surgery is at 10:30am...I am so excited, I don't think I'll go to sleep tonight
