Oh my I really hate to come to this page and be negative in anyway but I am feeling alot of anxiety this morn trying to figure out how I will make it through the next 3 weeks if I have to eat this pre-op food. I am not a picky kind of eater but this morn I am trying to eat apple & cinnamon oatmeal and kiwi-strawberry drink. I can barely get either past my nose and then the texture has made me gag twice. The drink is really thick. I just keep thinking I am paying $94 a week for food that I feel I can't even compare to actual food. I'm so stressed now ????

What about making it into a smoothie? Worth a shot I suppose. Good luck! You can do this!

Depends on your Dr. My 1st surgeon was liquid diet and 1 low fat, low carb meal/day.

My current surgeon is all liquid, low fat, low carb and max 1000cal/day

      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!!
