I'm jealous of you that can have actual meals on the pre op diet. I'm 5 days in and I'm allowed 2 protein shakes, and any broth based soup for dinner. I can have sf jello, sf pudding, sf Popsicles and low fat yogurt. I'm so sick of sweet stuff!!!

Hi,

my surgery is October the 3rd. Is anyone from the UK? Day 3 of my pre op diet.

On day 6 of my pre-op diet, (surgery oct 1)- I'm allowed a "small no carb meal" at night. I blew it last night, I ate 6 ounces of chicken Marsala instead of recommended 2-3 ounces... I also had minestrone soup AND the salad... Too much for one sitting... And now I went up on the scale by a pound... Hope it's just water retention from the sodium... I feel so guilty! ????

One more thing down, this past Thursday I had my scope done, piece of cake! Got there at 7, went back at 830 and was headed home around 10ish. (Worst part was the IV in the back of my hand!) Now, 29 days until surgery!!

My surgery is Oct 8th in Dayton OH. Getting excited and nervous! Take care and best of luck!!!!

please send good vibes to me for the next two days. i have my final weighin tomorrow before submission to insurance, and i kind of had a (really) bad weekend food wise. i have been counting on having surgery in october, and will be very sad if i have to put it off.

My date is October 13th. Im really scared but also very excited .I've been looking at YouTube videos and following peoples journeys and it's been very helpful. I'm sure you'll do fine as I hope we all will. good luck

I have been watching YouTube videos like crazy lately! It's cool to see other people's experiences through surgery. Sending calming vibes too all!

You will do great! Don't sweat it.

Started my liquid diet today. It's ok so far. I know now that I can't have chicken broth for breakfast. Not enough substance. I'll stick to my shakes early in the morning.
