I know when I miss a couple meals I turn into a real #@tch. Now I don't know how in the heck you people made it on a liquid diet for 2 weeks thank heaven's that I only have to go 2 days on a liquid diet...

But what about after the surgery did you go through withdrawals?

Did you turn angry what what happened tell me tell me please :redface:

I am on the pre-op diet right now, and I don't know how my family has kept from killing me. Sometimes I wish they would. Today is day 6 of my full liquid diet. I have read what others can eat on their pre-op diet, and it makes me wonder why my Dr. is so mean. LOL. Here is my diet. Word for word.

5 cans of slim fast Low carb

May have sugar-free popsicles and sugar-free Jello

may have liquid that is calorie free

Low calorie buillon (occasionally)

That is it, that is all.....I feel my stomach eating itself!!!

when you make your jello use half the water!! :confused_smile: it still makes jello but its thicker, I would ask your doctor about it after surgery before doing though because its allot thicker and wouldnt be good for liquid stage. But should be ok before hand as long as its still sugar free. Its thick enough kids can pick it up like finger food.

oh my. i go for those last three appointments this week and then the doctor send my stuff off to the insurance company. but boy i'm wondering if i should put a sign in my office warning my co-workers? :smile2: it might also not be good for me to be answering our help desk...i may kill the person on the other end. but i'm taking notes on what you've all been through...here's hoping my two weeks of liquids before surgery won't be sheer torture. :confused_smile:

Clayverde, thanks for the tips. I was a little worried about the cappucino, and I thought if I hated it, I could always use half that and half vanilla and make sure I blend it up in the blender. I'll definitely follow the directions, though. And I have been mixing my proteint shakes with skim milk instead of water. I can't wait to try the fruit punch mixed up, too. Just finishing my second day of protein drinks only, and doing well. Not too hungry yet. But I have been getting mild caffeine withdrawal headaches. This too shall pass, right?

Liquid diet Day 7 - a better day! I felt stronger and more human today, and it made me think I can make it through until next Friday's surgery date!

I bought some water with electrolytes in it, maybe that helped?
