Just a quick venting moment...

I'm on Day 5467 of the preop diet... okay fine- day 10/14, it just feels like forever.

My preop diet is all liquid Protein ONLY. No solids for 14 days. I am ALMOST there, and my surgeon actually advances your diet quickly, so there is an end in sight.

BUT I JUST WANT TO CHEW. I've chewed gum and spit it out. I want to crunch something. I miss pickles. Okay I sound crazy, just needed to share!

I feel for you.....it is a challenge.....this may make you feel a bit better....my pre-op liquid is a torturous 1 full month.

It will be worth it, be patient....... 4 more days. YAHOO

I'm on Day 5467 of the preop diet...

ol...I was dying to chew...sf popsicles allowed?

LOL well, I just took the sugar free Jello i have in the fridge (the ready made store bought kind- yes it's allowed!) and stuck them in the freezer out of desperation. Science project or amazing? Stay tuned...

Yes SF Jello and Popsicles made it bearable for me. I am out of pureed foods into soft foods now and I find that I am thrilled to have fish but I miss crunchy stuff- carrots, apples and other stuff that is really no longer a part of my routine just because of the crunch factor...Oh hey- I wonder about ice chips?? might be worth trying for both of us

But it is coming so I am just trying to enjoy the discoveries each step brings.

I am right there with you! My surgery is Monday and I am dying for a super crunchy salad! I have also done gum and popsicles. I'm thinking of freezing some greek yogurt too. And ice chips. Crunchy ice chips. Argh!

Omg i feel your pain im on day 3 and i feel like im not going to be able to do it.. 2 weeks seem soo long. ive been wanting this surgery for soo long and now that its around the corner it seems soo unreal...i hate those protein shakes
