I started my pre-op liquid diet today. I am scheduled for May 19 in Kansas City with Dr. Price. I am nervous and excited. So far, this liquid diet stinks. I know it will be better in a couple days. I think I will have to get out and take a walk to get my mind off of food. The dog is on a diet too, so it will be good for both of us.

I should get my surgery date this coming week, I believe. I am not looking forward to a 2 week liquid diet at all...haha...but we do what we have to do, don't we?

Good for you...and the dog. You are almost there!!! Consider it a small price to pay for the new, improved you

I had to do a liquid diet one week before and for 2 weeks after surgery. So 21 days. I could only last 16 days :x I opened a can of tuna :x

Good for you! I am hoping to get a surgery date in the next week or so. I am starting a liquid diet on Tuesday though since I have had bronchitis for 6 weeks and such bad allergies I haven't tasted anything for at least a month. I keep wondering why I am eating at all. Oh well. I have heard a lot of people who swear by egg drop Soup run through the blender and you can mix it with the high Protein chicken broth for added protein. Just a thought because I suspect the sweetness could get gross after a while.

Good Luck! I am sure your dog appreciates the extra walks too.

WOW this is exciting. Looks like we are all on the same page here. I will be gettin my pre op this week and then my surgery date . Hopefully for the end of the month. So afraid of the slippage problem but so excited I can't wait .. You all will be in my prayers and this is going to be a brand new beginning for us ...

WOOT WOOT
