Ok people.....s@$% just got real!!!! My dietitian called me earlier n the week nd told me to start my 2week preop liquid diet no later than 2/22/17. I asked her about a date for surgery, she said she wasn't told of a date, just to have me start the diet. Me being a good patient-for once-said ok and started the diet. Well.....I got the best call today-my surgeon's office called me this morning to move up my follow up appointment from my 2nd EGD (done last week) to this Friday 2/24/17. When I asked why was the appointment being moved and why I was told to start the diet without a date, SHE SAID THE DOCTOR IS ANTICIPATING DOING MY SURGERY NEXT THURSDAY, 3/2/17!!!!! OMG, I'm so estatic!

Not going to lie-AND I KNOW THE LOGICAL REASONS AGAINST IT-had a VERY SMALL amount of soda without any negative effects! Now maybe the reason I didn't have any problems was the way I had it.....I was down to the last of my Crystal Light jug (about 24oz was left); was too lazy too make more, so I added a little orange and ginger ale soda to equal 32oz.......no problems going down, no problems with regurgitating liquids. Now I didn't try to drink 32oz in one sitting-took the better part of the day to complete the jug......but it was good to know that I could ingest soda IF PUSH CAME TO SHOVE
