Here I go...I'm starving

Can you drink/eat broth? I found that eating/drinking hot savory broth was so much better than always having a cold Protein shake. You can do ANYTHING for two weeks (or however long)......Best wishes!

Thanks so much...

I'd like to say good luck to you. Just remember all the stick-to-it-ness you already went through. You can make. I just hope you will encourage me when my time comes

What are you drinking? Protein drinks? Are you allowed ANY semi-solid food? I'm pre-op, but the NUT gave us a list of what we could eat. It included 1/2 c. of whole grains, for example, oatmeal, in the morning. Mid-afternoon snack included sugarless applesauce, which surprised me. Not much, I know, but hope it helps! [NOT looking forward to this either!]

Broth and clear liquids and some sugar free pop cycles and jello what right now sounds yummy.

You got this. Remember you are stronger than you think you are. Best Wishes!!!

I am now on day 11 of my pre-op liquid diet. I'm not going to lie, it's tough! I have had a lot of headaches and overall not feeling great which I guess is normal from what I've heard from others. My body is used to some Wendy's and Taco Bell! I just keep thinking that at least during the post-op liquid diet I won't be so dang hungry! Two more days and then surgery Monday...I think I can, I think I can!

And I have grown to LOVE that sugar free jello!

Good luck with your diet and surgery!

Man good luck hang in there its worth it.I had surgery on the 28.my preop diet was tough but I did it I had the gnc total lean shakes they are really good.but after the sixth day it got a lot better.

Thanks guys , I'm on day 3 and going strong....

I am on day two. Ugh I have 8 to go. surgery is scheduled for August 25th.

Well I shouldn't complain. My pre op diet starts tomorrow, I only have to do 2 days of clear liquids and I am dreading it.

Yes the sugar free jello and the sugar free Popsicles are a lifesaver!

Day four of pre op liquid diet. Weekends are easier than weekdays. It is hard when I have a desk job and can just sit! If I can keep physically active I am fine. I walked over 20000 steps yesterday. Was up at the YMCA this morning at 5. I need to keep physically active and with working 8 to 5 during the week it is extremely hard.

Day five is in the bank but some of these protein shakes are high dollar. I wish they made bacon flavor protein shakes ,lol. Thursday is the big day....keep me in prayers please....let's get healthy together ....
