    I am scheduled for surgery on April 25th! My Dr requires a 1 week pre-op diet so I start mine on the 18th, but this week I'm trying to slowly change my diet so that I don't go into shock next week lol

    I may need to go ahead and just start something like that just in case so like everyone else is saying I won’t be in shock with that rapid change. Thanks for the photos!

    Today is day 13 of my pre op diet, Tuesday is surgery day! The pre op has been rough I'm not a fan of the protien shakes so i split them into 4 oz randomly through the day. I've lost 12 lbs so far. Go

    Thanks Star! You started early. Today so far I’ve had water and a oíkos zero sugar yogurt. It alone has 15 grams of protein. Lunch will be premier protein shake. They’re not too bad.

    Wednesday. Excited, nervous and anxious all at the same time!

    Yes I completely feel the same way. I have to daughters and I have to cook for them of course all the time right. That’s kind of messing with me a little. But my oldest keeps reminding me I can’t have no food.

    Today is much better that yesterday. I couldn’t keep anything down. But I’m taking gas-x chewable, nausea med, pain med, protonix, and a stool softener. Once I was able to pass gas this morning I began to feel much better. I can’t drink much but I’m won’t force it. It’s still 1 oz or 2 every hour or so for me. Just happy it’s staying down today.

    After surgery you won't be hungry much. As soon as you eat something, you'll be full. I broke down one day, and have a pack of Lance crackers, that was it, had to skip my meal.
