Yes I had a liquid pre op diet which believe it or not now i miss.It was 3 shakes a day a 4/6 oz peice of protein and as much salad as you can handle .Now I am on creamy soups farina,jello yogurt and pudding and liquids.The surgery was the easy part.I was lucky no pain walked around in the recovery room.Although I had to stay until the next day I wanted to go home.The hard part is I am hungry and I have a kid at home and she still has to eat.I'm gonna do my best
