Hello and welcome AmyMarie13, tappingmom, bugsy72, Klolojadie and tera1982!!!!

When does everyone start your pre-op diet? I start mine on 18 November and not looking forward to it. I've been kind of going through a food funeral all month long. Ok, I admit, since like.. August...

Does anyone blog on Wordpress?

I start on November 30th, so I'm sure I will have my food funeral at thanksgiving. It'll no doubt be the happiest funeral I've ever attended lol.

I asked my nutritionist if it would be okay if I have a small meal on Thanksgiving, given I'd still have 5 days of liquids before surgery (as far as clearing out all the pipes, that is....) I'm not a professional of course, but I don't think one meal is going to hurt the size of my liver. I'm NOT looking forward to the pre-op diet.

hello kirstykirst81 and everyone else...

my prediet starts on November 20 I believe, ten days prior to Dec. 1. I am struggling; have GAINED weight, not lost, in the past couple of months. I think I'm freaking out about not being able to have loved foods anymore. I hope I can lose it all (about 8 lbs) and more on the pre-diet. I am also worried about that; but I plan to white-knuckle my way through! I may be on this site a LOT during those ten days!

Hi everyone! I start my pre-op liquid diet on December 2nd so I'll be able to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner. My liquid diet consists of 5-6 Protein Drinks a day plus any calorie-free beverages, including coffee, broth, and sugar free Jello. No solid food/small meals so that is definitely going to be challenging. I've already changed so many of my bad habits in the 9 months it's taken me to get this far that I'm hoping it won't be too bad. I have three kids that are in elementary/middle school and they have a ton of holiday-related activities, so I won't have much down time to just sit and snack.< /p>

I'm stuck with 14 days I've fluctuated up and down but not past my highest but luckily I don't have to worry about that as much, being that I'm starting out a lot lower than most.

When I booked my surg date I forgot all about the holidays lol! My pre-op diet is about the same as yours as far as what I can eat.

It's good that you'll be continuously busy. WTG on already making good changes!

I saw the surgeon and NUT today again; i'm getting very excited! They said i COULD have some lean turkey, nonstarch veggie and one serving of carb on thanksgiving day besides my Protein drink; yay! I start the ten day prediet on Nov. 21. I'm ready to do it! (At least i say that now as I'm enjoying eating regular food.)
