I used pre-packaged broth and also made my own using cut beef bone from the Asian market, carrots, celery, onion, salt and pepper. First I braise the beef bones then add a few cut up celery stalks, chunked whole carrots and onion. Boil for a couple of hours and salt and pepper to taste. Then strain out the solid ingredients. I also add a little fresh lemon juice and a little finely chopped fresh cilantro and jalapeno just before serving. The home-made broth made the liquid diet far more palatable and I looked forward to having it for dinner.

My surgery is the 8th, as well!! I was so proud of myself yesterday; I went to pick up cat food and some more sf Jello for myself and I didn't break down and buy any junk food to sneak into my diet.

Welcome to day 4!!

Did anyone else have horrible headaches? I'm really suffering and don't know if it's like caffeine withdrawal or just food withdrawal? It really sucks.

Had a very bad headache during day 2. Nothing really since then. Currently on day 5 and I think my body and now used to it.

@FL*Girl it is likely both. Your body is used to caffeine and carbs and going through withdrawal.

And yes it sucks and shakes still suck post-op too. But it will be a faded memory at some point. Hang in there.

Surgery date is November 7th. On the second day of liquid diet. If I can live through this, I can live through anything.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
