Today is day 1 of pre op clear liquid diet. Went well for the most part. Surgery is Dec 29th and can't wait! Anyone else out there on the same day?

I did fine except that I am hungry, cranky and in a rather nasty mood.

I had some chicken and cabbage not a lot though, I did ok. All liquids from now on... ready to do this!!

Today was definitely my worst day. Rest of pre op diet has gone great. Back on track ASAP though to get ready for the big day Monday.

It was ok. Alf cup of dressing (if that much) & a nice slice of white turkey breast, chewed and ate very slow and savored it! I agree, worst day so far, but was so worth it. Hope I keep the sinus congestion away and tick on until 7 am MONDAY!!!!!

I enjoyed a chocolate mint shake in the morning, drank a cup of chicken bullion while the family ate turkey, and had no problem sticking to my liquid diet. I will be really glad when I get to eat again! I hope y'all had a merry Christmas!

Getting a cold! Coughing, little sinus drainage and slight sore throat. Praying it goes away and doesn't affect my surgery! I have tried to stay away from everyone so I wouldn't catch anything, .... just my luck!!!!! Send up some prayers!

. I am having some of the same issues! Not sure what to do! Can we take any meds? Are u gonna call the doc? Ugh. I don't want this to affect my surgery!

My Dr office closed at noon Christmas Eve and won't be open again until Mon. (but not before I have to be at hospital). Just trying the zinc losenges (NASTY) and vitamin c drops and stay hydrated. I don't think my Dr will allow anything but Tylenol and that's not going to help!

ok. That's what I thought too. Alright. I'm gonna go get some of those. How are u feeling? Same here for my doctors office.

I feel better today than yesterday for sure. It's mostly when I 1st wake up I trying to clear the drainage. My Dr is almost 3 hrs away so we are leaving Sunday and going to spend the night in a hotel. I think I am going to prop up to sleep that night and then before going to the hospital, get a nice hot shower and use one of those effervescent shower things. Used one this morning and it was HEAVEN!

BTW - does anyone know of an app I can get on my phone that will help me track my food/protein, water, etc.?

Scheduled 12/29/14...I was given my surgery date on 12/19/14 and now on a 1000 calorie diet. I was told to do this in order to shrink the liver. I'm not sure if I've done well or not. For Christmas dinner, I ate a little more than I probably should, but I'll do all liquids for the next few days. I've heard stories of the surgent going in and the liver being too big to operate, so either the patients was closed up and sent back home to lose more weight, or the surgent did a complete open procedure. I dont watn either...I'll weigh myself tomorrow.

I'm a little nervous about all of it..more so going under...

But I'm excited..

I use MyFitness Pal for tracking food/exercise and find it very handy.
