My surgery date is Jan 25! Was aiming for Dec. 21 since I had met my deductible for the year already but I went out of town for the holidays instead! I am on day 3 of my pre-op diet and it has been an emotional roller coaster! I have to do two weeks of full liquids. (EAS Advatage meal replacement shakes, 4-6 a day, water or crystal light and broth/bouillon) I was crying last night because I wanted food so bad! I made some chicken, talked with a friend, and ended pouring bleach on the chicken as well as down my cereal box. I have read a lot that it does get better once your stomach gets adjusted to the diet! Hope this is true!!
