I have followed my pre-op diet........liquid. Oh joy and yum. NOT! For 2 weeks. I mean how many ways can 1 person fix very diluted cream of chicken soup that is different and enjoyable in 9 days? And have SF Jello to follow for the mid-day meal? Not to mention having 2 protein shakes during the day all within keeping under 700 cal. How on earth are you supposed to keep your energy up and exercise for 30 min on this kind of diet? I am so totally exhausted all I want to do is sleep sleep sleep. Any one else with this prob?

Are you required to exercise during pre-op? I'm not.

I'm suppose too continue walking and to try to increase my distance........forget it! hahaha aint happening

It's for your breathing and circulation I think. Do what you can though. I am first day pre-op today and not even hungry, had bone broth and hot tea so far. I need to do a shake here soon though, it's 2pm.

Put some spices in your soup - touch of cayenne, or basil and onion powder. Dilute it with vegetable broth.

Good luck.

Try having Fibro, Chronic pain and Chronic fatigue along with a very low thyroid going through this. No amount of spice (which I use quite well as a "naturalist" and Native American) is going to help right now! hahaha but thanks for the thought.
