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!

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.

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!

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

[Akafij 21]

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.

[planningband07 52]

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 ....
