For those on liquid diets now.

I'm on my 2nd day of 14 days of: 4 or 5 sugar free carnation instant breakfasts a day. I can only have 8 oz of skim milk in one day so I divide that up between my shakes. (Not too tasty by the way) I can also have sugar free Jello and sugar free pop cycles. I had a horrific head ache yesterday. Usually the only thing that works for my head aches is Excedrin but since I'm having a bypass, I'm off all NSAID's FOREVER! So I'm taking Tylenol which I usually do not use but I guess it will have to be my go to medicine now! While I'm at work it's not too bad but on the weekend I think I'll really struggle. My surgery is October 22, 2014.

im one day other you I didn't know after surgery we can't have any NSAIDs wow

I have 3 more days of the liquid diet and I have struggled. Yesterday, I cheated....3 oz of Hamburger patty and a slice of Tomato. I seem to feel much better and resumed my liquid diet.

I haven't started the pre-op liquid diet yet. My surgery is Nov. 11th, so I won't be starting it for another couple weeks. My doctor says I need to do it for 2 weeks, but I am allowed to have a light meal at dinner time. I think I have to go to all liquids for 3 days before the surgery though. What's really bad, and I feel so guilty about it is that this last week or so I've eaten some things I really enjoy thinking that I may as well indulge since it'll be forever until I can even have a taste of certain things. Has anyone else felt like this? The last thing I want to do is gain weight before surgery. I've got enough to loose as it is.

Dabliss... love the photo of your little pup! I have two that look a little similar! My surgery is Nov 10th so we are on the same schedule. I am starting an all liquid 2 week diet on Oct 27th. I have also been indulging, and having a case of the lasts. It is kind of a double sided thing for me. I feel like if I indulge too much before surgery I may regret it, but I also feel like if I don't indulge before surgery I might regret not having those things that I enjoy for the last time. So I know exactly how you feel. Since our surgeries are so close I would love to chat further, and hopefully be a support system to each other. Feel free to contact me at fourdodges@aol.com.

I decided to start my pre-op diet today. My surgery is 3 weeks from today. I'm worried that I may have actually gained a few pounds because I've been eating things I love in anticipation of not being able to have them anymore. I feel so guilty.....

Has anyone else done the same thing?

If you have not discovered them yet, check out the brand of "Budget Saver" popsicles in sugar-free - they have a variety of flavors. I buy them at Walmart.< /p>

Yeah Jello was a life saver for the first 4-5 days. Now I'm settled into it and it's a lot easier. Day 4 was the hardest with hunger- and I had some emotional stuff on top of that and I totally cheated. Not pizza cheating bad, just turkey sandwich cheating bad.
Now I'm in a good rhythm. Having premixed shakes is a lifesaver. As much as I prefer mixing my own in the blender- sometimes reality gets in the way.
sugar free Popsicles are a god-send when the nighttime snacking impulse strikes. Now I just wish there were more flavors besides orange, cherry, and grape!!!!!

powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury has a chicken Soup Protein powder that is quite good. I also add a touch of chicken boullion to it.

I am starting my 2 week liquid diet on 11/27. The thought of having so many sweet Protein drinks does not appeal to me. What else can I have that is not sweet? What about Soups?
