I'm on Tuesday too and am so over the pre Opp diet it's just yuck to think I have another few weeks of these shakes is awful.

Agree Shell! Where is your surgery?

I think you'll find that the liquid diet post-op is no problem. You aren't hungry at all, and you're bound to be a little sore. You may miss eating, generally speaking, but you shouldn't be miserable.

Thanks MSUJester. I have to admit the hardest part pre-op is still being hungry.

Without question, I found the pre-op diet (which lasted 4 weeks for me) to be much more difficult than the post-op one. I was so grateful that the surgery went well and that I had no hunger, I didn't even think about the fact that I was on an all liquid diet after surgery (even during Thanksgiving!). Best of luck with your surgery!

Like others stated post-op is a breeze, the hunger drive is gone. The bigger challenge now is getting enough liquid in, stay hydrated and keep a heat pad handy for the gas pains. Relax as much as possible, it gets easier and better each day and once the gas works itself out of your system you'll be good as gold.
