Clear liquid diet pre-op...

It's a long time til morning ;)


Are you saying you're just having to do a single day of a liquid diet before your surgery? Cause if so then my tip is to say suck it up buttercup. Most of us had to do two weeks of this crap. :lol: :lol: :lol:

No, last day of 2 weeks, surgery in am pure clear liquid til morning. Buttercup;P

lol...okay. I thought you were trying to survive a single day of it. I was always jealous of those that had a doc that didn't require the full two weeks. It's a rough patch to go through for sure.

Well, it is hard to be sure. And yeah, it is mostly a suck it up buttercup experience. 2 days goes by so quickly!

It helps tremendously that you are so far out into liquids that you won't be very hungry, and to keep your focus on the upcoming thrill of finally getting to have surgery.

Eat about every 3 hours with liquids: Herb Ox broth packages, sf orange Jello, sf popsicle, and for dinner maybe do a Premier Protein Clear drink if that's allowed?

It will go by so quickly!

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
