My surgery date was April 12 but was bumped up to April 5th. I started clear liquids Friday and can have 3 protein shakes a day. I was ok Friday, but yesterday was a struggle. I never truly feel satisfied with just liquids and i'm already getting a little sick of protein shakes. But i keep reminding myself that i'm doing this for a better me. Good luck everyone!

You got this I have been on liquids since Monday. Try Sugar Jello sugar free popsicles, Powerade zero. Dont give in I have 3 kids and what I do is go to my room when everyone is eating or entertain myself with something else.



Can I whine a little? I'm on Day 5 of the pre-op liquid diet. A storm came through & knocked out the power. Now my popsicles are melted, I can't warm up my broth or make jello and my protein shakes are lukewarm. This. Sucks. (Thank you for listening. I feel better just venting! I'm sure tomorrow will be better.)


Wowowowow sorry to hear that!!! Hopefully the power will be back on soon.

I pray everything will be alright tomorrow

2AM - just woke up. I had my surgery yesterday morning. I was so groggy afterwards I couldn't really wake up until around 4:00 PM. Sipping on water, walking the halls. Received an iv of something similar to Tylenol around 11 for pain. Pain really wasn't that bad but I figured it would help me sleep comfortably. Hope all my April 3 surgery buddies are doing well!

Glad to hear that your doing good. My gas pains is just about gone. Thank goodness. I'm peeing good to. Still a lil hard to take really deep breaths.

Going to try and lay in the bed today as this recliner sucks.

Had some major pains last night but pain meds are helping. Up drinking water and walking every two hours. Pain isn't bad at the moment. All went well with mine yesterday.

That is good you start walking

hello everyone. Congrats and I'm so happy all of your are doing very well. LMBO I'm so afraid of the pain but happy most aren't experiencing too much pain.

Day 10 of liquid diet and I'm down 12 pounds. I can't wait to get this surgery next Tuesday [emoji16]
