Best of luck to you! Hey we're just 2 days apart, surgery wise. I have my VSG surgery on Nov 1st. I have to do a 14 day pre-op liquid diet, the best stained soup I did was Campbell soup, hearty beef pot roast, I think that's what it was called lol. My fiancé ate the meat and veggies and I had the soup part, really yummy.

Oh and my fiancé didn't eat his meals on front of me either, until a few days ago, mostly because I said I could handle it and I'd be fine. I was wrong, totally broke down and cried because it smelt really good and my stomach wanted it. Didn't cheat though, just drank a lil bit of Water and left the room lol. It's harder then I thought but I know it'll be worth it!

I'm day 3 into liquid diet too, and surgery is Nov. 9. I find it strange that some folks only have to do the liquid for a week, or two weeks (like me) or even a month like I've ready in other forums. It's nice to hear from others. I'm going to try the campbells soups to and strain it. I actually never thought of that. I've just bought chicken broth and there is absolutely no flavor in it. Blah!

I made my own broth. Use can or box broth and boil celery, onion, carrots in it and add spices. I used salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder, paprika. Much better than store bought. You'll be so much better off sticking with the pre-op diet. It's brutal but prepares your body for surgery and you mind for post-op. Good luck to you all! I'm 10 days post-op.

another question, can you drink any kind of alcohol (just occassional) on the pre-op liquid diet?

No. The purpose is to shrink your liver and make surgery safer. Alcohol is not allowed during this phase.

Yes definately do the straining lol, my fiancé, luckily, doesn't like soup too much, so the part I strain he eats and get the soup lol. Even Progresso is good. Campbells hearty soups are delish! Enjoy!

I haven't had wine in almost a month now, since I got approved for surgery lol...figured it would be one thing I would have to stop sooner or later, so did it lol

My surgeon's office seems to be SO much stricter than everyone else's!! We have to do a 2 week pre-op of ONLY Bariatric Advantage meal replacement shakes and NOTHING ELSE!! It really sucks when I find out that everyone else can eat a lot of other stuff or even jello!!!

My nutritionalist tried to sell me on those...but I told her I can't afford to buy that plus pay other books. She understood but I know they try to push it for more money. I'm sorry that's all you can eat...drink. my surgery is tomorrow and the past 2 week liquid was hard enough, I can't imagine having no options! Hang in there!
