hows your liquid diet going? i don't have to do full liquid thankfully!

It. Sucks. Majorly. But after day 5 it gets easier. Days 1-4 were the WORST!!! I’m on day 6 now and have no issues lol

Edit to include that for some reason my username changed from Mobile to actual site. I’m me regardless 😂

HI ALL!!!! My date is Sept 10th and I AM SO EXCITED. Just had a question maybe one of you can help me out with. My surgeon put me on a liquid diet for the past 2 weeks and I gotta say, the first 3 days were sooooo hard because of no coffee. Ive literally been having 3 Protein Shakes and chicken broth everyday. Soooo freaking tired of it...But they mentioned I can have sugar free popsicles. I haven't been able to find them in any grocery stores near me but there's an ice cream shop down my street that has no sugar added Water ice sorbet. Now my questions is.....What is the difference between "sugar free" and "no sugar added" & can I have this sorbet lol

Hello my pre-op diet is one Meal Replacement and one Protein supplement shake. My doctor says in between if I really get hungry I can have a salad.

No sugar added means that there is naturally occurring sugars like from fruit. You would have to check the ingredient label to see what the sugar comes from and then the nutritional analysis to see the carb content to see if it could be allowed on your pre-op diet.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
