my shake is watery! Really needs the milk! I may bring a mini fridge in to put under my desk. There is 2% milk in the vending machine, but my pre-op diet clearly says 1% or skim

Good point on the sodium !

I am sooooooooooo constipated on the diet too. I started with Metamucil but that made my stomach hurt, so my surgeons office said a can take a softener or a laxative. I need to get more water in. I am about 100 or so grams of protein, I can have 3-4 shakes a day, and feel I need them as too much broth = lots of salt!

So when I was at me pre-op testing last week, my b-12 came back a little low, and the doctor said to start taking a supplement as after surgery it tends to be low as well. So I got the B-12, and on the back it says discontinue use 2 weeks prior to surgery, so I called the office and told them that. They said, if the doctor told you take it, it should be no problem, and we do not tell anyone to discontinue its use, prior to surgery. I still feel weird about taking it. Maybe I will go and get a different brand that does not have this dis-claimer. I bought a generic rite aid blend. Thoughts?

So I went back for a different bottle and I read the bottles of all the other brand and even vitamin c said the warning it was on everything !

I friended you, can you add me to the group? My surgery is March 30th!

I am on the liquid diet today is the 4 th day . It is soooooooo hard but I have not cheated . I made it through. Family gathering on Saturday !!!! I want to eat something but I am keeping my eye on the prize ! 6 days left ! You can this !

rough to say the least. Can you eat no sugar added fudsicles on yours? I=

oh maybe I will call then. I am 3-4 protein shakes a day, clear broth, I tried the thai one yesterday and it was so spicy, that I may do a splash of it in the chicken. I can do the sugar free popsicles, they were gross, the jello is eh, but it is not a shake or broth - LOL. I have been adding Metamucil for fiber too, and that helps feel full. I ate a no sugar added 40 calorie fudgsicle last night. It was good, which leads me to believe although it is on the full liquid diet list, post op, I cannot eat it now. ONLY 6.5 MORE DAYS!

30th for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me too! Are u guys on he liquids my doc required 10 days !

I wish I could have yogurt ????????

good article! Thanks.

I started my liquid 10 day pre-op today. eeks!

Can you have lean cuisine or smart ones after you are on solids, or are they too high in sodium?

I am on the 30 th in Longhorns but I live in quakertown

DITTO!

I usually make enough to freeze half, so maybe I will continue to do that, and maybe have a few on hand for a lurch. I think Cooking healthy is the way to go!!!!!

I have a 7 and 1/2 year old that weighs 52 pounds, and a 4 year old that is 45. My doctor said 30 days to lift them. Not concerned about my 7 year old. I am concerned with my 4 year old(just turned 4 in Jan), as I often now have to grab him to get him moving to climb in to his car seat, and he still likes to run and not stand by side. So I am worried I will be running and chasing him for hours, I know that sounds funny. I am also nervous that the kids will jump on me. They do that now, when they want to be close.

thank you! I do cook a fair bit, I will have to change some of the cooking to high protein, low fat, low carb. My plan is to bring left overs some days for lunch, and a few days a week maybe opt for the frozen meals. My biggest downfall pre-surgery, my surgery is march 30th is lunch. That is where I really tend to over eat.

I am addicted to this. I watched the Pauline's story and it was making me so mad!

How do you make one of those fancy weight tickers? Thanks in advance!
