@ Downsizingdiva- The Bouillon cubes taste better than broth.

thank you! I kay had seafood broth...smells like hot crabs lol...I will pick cubes up. .thanks!

I had bad headaches for the first 3 days of pre op diet. Headache went away on 4th day. I was very hungry on pre op diet. I had surgery monday 29th. I'm not hungry. Getting my required fluids is a job right now. Every day will get better and this is worth doing!

I am just winding up day 3 of pre-op same doc as Kindle...........3 Protein shakes a day sugar free Jello and popsicles and vegs. I had a very shaky day today weak and headachy feel very crappy. I hope tomorrow (first day of the new year) will be better......... looking for a new me in 2015.

I am having surgery on Jan 6th. I am constantly hungry, but am staying to the diet and so excited for this journey! Any tips for us newbies?

@@luvmyseab my surgery is Monday the 5th. 6 day pr op, it's been a struggle, so much I keep thinking I want to cancel and then think I want my health problems to go away! Stay with you can do it!! This website is filled with extremely helpful wonderful people!!

How much water should be mixed with the bouillon cubes without killing the flavor?

I'm really excited! Nervous, but that's normal. However, during this pre op diet, I keep thinking, "is there anything else I can do to make sure my liver shrinks enough? " Haha! Guess I just want to make sure that nothing prevents this surgery from happening.

@@Rovobay Thank you for the support! Greatly appreciated!

Last night was tough!! Wife and her best friend ordered pizza! My mouth was watering so bad i was practically drooling!! I was good and stayed the course. I just keep thinking this is my time to strengthen my will power.

We were at friends and had pizza everywhere!! I can totally relate. Hubby ate three pieces sitting next to me and I had to feed my daughter a piece. So hard!!! It's not the first party that I've had to use self control, so I'm def stronger than I was two weeks ago! 18lbs down ( started dec 19th.) one week until surgery!!
