I have been using anything from Crystal Light to Crush drink packets. The pineapple is yummy. It certainly made drinking my Water so easy :)

I feel alien liking plain old ice Water so much.

Anyhow, I started soft solids a day early, was supposed to start Thursday.

Had some Beans and block (grated) cheddar cheese melted in with the beans and a tad of mild sauce (all in all about 1/3 of a cup). Went down just fine, started to feel the restriction. Later will try Ragu meat sauce with super tiny bits of ground beef and see how that goes. Scrambled eggs possibly too. This is the part of the diet I've looked forward to so much. Eggs and beans are being permanently incorporated into my post-op diet whereas the meat sauce will give way to actual beef (like a burger) and chicken (tenders) in a week or two when I try that.

Found something that's been working for me the last few days and I've been able to get in at least 30oz of liquid with only being 1 week post op I think thats great.

Adam&Eve 100% apple juice with no sugar added. It's about 22 grams of sugar in the whole bottle but I dilute it with Water otherwise it's way to sweet. I do about 1/2 cup apple juice and 1/2 cup of water and it taste just perfect.

This works for me, if it doesn't work for you I hope you find something that will soon!

I just have to say, when I first read 'Adam & Eve', I thought 'they make apple juice?'. So I googled it and found out, no they don't, but Apple & Eve do, hahaha. Thanks for the laugh and I'm glad you found something you like to drink!

I love ice Water. It took me an hour, but I actually drank 16oz this morning. When I read others having a problem with cold water a couple months ago, it just made me sad. So I'm glad I'm able to drink it.

I've been on the puréed diet since day 2 and eggs, scrambled or a cheese omelette, have been on there. Actually, I just made a one egg cheese omelette and ate half. They go down easily and the restriction gets real about four small bites in. I'll be in the soft food stage soon and will try your bean recipe.

Hope you're feeling better everyday!

Yesss. And when my wife gets her sodas from eating out, I tell her to get extra ice.. I empty out the rest of her drink and I just eat the ice.

If you're weird and you know it clap your hands. *clap clap* :lol:

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
