Hi there,

I was sitting here on my first day of the pre-op diet and found this forum. I'm so glad to see that people are actively talking and sharing their experiences!

I'm a pretty picky eater, so preparing for the pre-op has been hard. Basically, I don't like milk or the consistency of milk, so it was hard to choke down that first shake. I had a white wine and herb-flavored chicken broth for lunch and it was not good. I had 1/2 a cup. Who would have thought I'd stop after a 2.5 calorie lunch? :tt2:

Anyway, I just ordered some unjury and hope to have a better experience with plain chicken broth tonight. Any tips or suggestions from those with similar food tastes/pickiness is greatly appreciated!

All I can tell you is stick to your preop and most importantly your post op diet scrupulously. Eat only what your doc approves! (I didn't realize how very important that was when I was in your place preop so long ago! LOL)

As to things not tasting good, no one likes to eat things that they find unpalatable. I got so deathly sick of those sweet gicky EAS carb control advantEdge shakes I could've screamed but I figured that period wasn't about me enjoying my meals so much as losing the requisite liver fat preop and then healing post op.

So hang in there; if you need to, call your surgeon's office on Monday and ask for some help.

Good luck!
