I'm three days from surgery and really having a hard time on pre-op. I had almost no problems during my first week of the diet (full liquids). Week 2 (clear liquids) has been awful. Today leaving church I felt like I was going to throw up from hunger? Was having gagging sensations. Last night I had a pounding headache from hunger. Shakes and broth just aren't going it for me. I broke down and had chicken soup from Newks today at lunch. Just trying to make to surgery on 6/28.

Anybody else cheat a little with full liquids during clear liquid phase of pre-op? I've read that some of you get to have whole meals during pre-op (chicken and veggies, etc.). Surely I'm ok having a bowl of soup once a day to keep me from passing out/getting sick!

Just stick to it the countdown begins and you will have a hard time after getting anything down....sip sip and more sip after...enjoy what you can...while you can...Goodluck on surgery it is well worth it....congratulations.
