How did your day go? I'm on day two and still have a headache but I'm not hungry so that's a plus. Never thought I would say this, thank God for jello.

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?

I'm on my fourth day liquids, doing good so ready for my new start and better life style,

Any new ideas for menu or shakes,water ,tea, and jello ok I have to stay under 800 calories until next Monday

Jello, black tea, shakes, fat free yogurt, any new ideas this is my 4 the day.

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.

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!!!!!

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?

Zoepoodle. Those drink recipis are awesome I bought all the ingredients last week to try them out and love them.
