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?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
