Man! This liquid diet gets old! I'm 11 days PO and I've never wanted an egg so badly in my life! I'm dreaming about them! I'm SO thankful I'm not hungry but I still want and crave everything! Praying it calms down once I'm allowed soft foods.

My plan is...

1-3weeks PO / liquids

4-6 weeks PO / soft foods

7th week reg diet

liquid diet is hard, but for some people it gets easier, and it can be good to have some liquid Protein options available to fall back on later (I know that seems unimaginable now!!). One thing I did to make it a little more fun - and I was surprised how much this worked - was to set up a little bar on my kitchen counter.

I keep flavored and unflavored powders there, and a row of sugar-free flavor syrups. I know it sounds super lame but it actually makes the whole thing much less tedious! Here's my setup: post-297549-14735078946688_thumb.jpg

That's funny all I wanted was an egg too. I asked my doctor can I have just one. He said yes. I scrambled really light with nothing on it. Smashed as small as possible. It took 2 hours to eat it tho.I only ate half the one

Getting to soft foods makes all those weeks of liquids a distant memory! Hang in there, you can do this.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
