Bolingpins & ke-sa - wahoooo! You are even closer than I am! Are you getting nervous? How about the preop diet - did you have one and how's it going for you? Have you started packing yet?

Absolutely! Are you getting nervous? Have you had to do a pre op diet?

Anyone have any recommendations for the best tasting protein powder? Surgery date is 7/8 and I want home to be already stocked with what I will need.

The day before I was to start my pre op diet I actually had a food funeral at work. Everyone brought all of my favorite foods and I ate like a mad woman. Lol It was, at least in my mind, my time to put to rest old habits and start a new beginning with healthier choices.

I'm on day 4 of my liquid diet. My day two was horrible as well. I spoke with my NUT and she reinforced that I should try cream soups (strained so no food particles are in it) and I'm able to add LIGHT cool whip on top if the low sugar (less than 15g of sugar) yogurts. I got the dessert flavors since they don't have fruit pieces in the (red velvet, lemon meringue, key lime pie, etc). I've been doing tomato soup and shakes so the cream soup was a nice change. Not sure if your diet will allow it so check with your doc/NUT first. It does get better though.

On day two of the liquid diet...not too fun at all. Anyone going through this lovely phase right now too?

They didn't give me a limit on shakes that I can have. I have been doing 3.

I seem to get through the day ok, but the evenings when I get home are the worst! Moody and hungry are understatements to describe how I feel. I'm only 1/3 of the way through it....uuugh!
