Started my liquid diet today for my dec 3rd surgery. Things are going great except that my Keurig died this morning, so no decaf coffee today. Talk about a kick in the butt, ha!! Well, all is good and I will get a new one later this week. Wish me luck!!

Hey Jen The first few days are the hardest, but then it goes easier!!! Much luck and success!!!

Best of luck during your pre-op! I found that the pre-op diet totally reset my system and now I really crave very simple foods. I can eat any amount of spiciness without problem, but I tend to gravitate toward simpler foods.

Just remember that if your head starts telling you that you're starving, you're not starving. All of us had enough weight on us pre-op to not starve for quite some time.

It was also awesome to lose 25lbs during my 2-week pre-op and 2-week post-op.

Just remember that the pre-op is just a blip on the radar of your life and will be over soon enough and then you'll be on the other side.

you guys are awesome!! Thanks!!

I too started my pre-op diet for my upcoming surgery December 1st. I have to say that it sucks because I have to still prepare meals for my family and yet all I can have is clear liquid items or protein shakes. Oh well...I just keep focusing on the end result and push on.

Yeah, I'm preparing meals for family as well. Just keep thinking about the end results and we will get through this. Good luck!

I started my day 1 today too...we can do this!!! My surgery is Thursday!!

Always Vegas - your words were very encouraging for me too! Thank u!!!

I just got my two week diet today. Not all liquid though like I thought. It's

3 protein shakes, 2 fruits, 1protein bar, one meal 300 cal or less and all the no starch veggies I want.

Then the 24 hrs before is all liquid.

It's funny how every surgeon is different

Just strained some progreso chicken orzo soup with lemon and just ate the broth. Very tasty. 2 protein shares, 2 hot teas, and lots of water. So far so good.

You guys are too nice... I'm letting my family fend for themselves!

Today is 6/14 all liquid and I'm doing ok. Today I mixed my chocolate Protein in a decaff coffee for something warm. and it was marvelous!

Good luck to everyone!!

@@Jen D My surgery Date is also December 3rd and I started my pre op diet today. So far it is going OK, it ends up being about 1200 calories between the Protein shakes and the veggies. How are you feeling today? Luckily I don't have to cook for anyone else or have any other "bad" foods in my house.

I started my pre-op diet today for my Dec 2nd surgery. Doing good so far but I am allowed to have tomato Soup and oatmeal so that part is good. I'm sure I will get tired of eating Tomato soup after a few days but it will all be worth it in the end! We've got this!

I also have a dec 2 date. I started today too.

I'm pretty sure I ate a half of a bag of baby carrots lol they said if I get hungry between times then eat veggies. So I did.

I'm strictly on clear liquids and protein shakes so it pretty much blows. I went to kneaders today and asked for chicken noodle soup with just broth. Tasted good, ate it with a shake. 2 days down...

My surgery is dec 2nd. I was put on a 3 week lean diet prior to surgery. First week I lost 15 lbs, weight loss is slowing a bit and thinking of going to all liquid except lunch which is lean chicken and veggies. My calories are around 1000 a day right now. Cooking for my family is hard right now (for them because I'm making them the same thing I've been eating!!)
