Has anyone heard from Sal???

This liquid diet is killing me!!! day 2 and i think i am gonna die!!! i think i threw every bit of broth i had yesterday up last night, i was so sick to my stomach last night i went to bed at 10pm today is not as bad but i am starving!!! so my support team (husband) ticked me off as i come out of the bathroom, he said well let me guess you are gonna give up? and i think to myself you know how many times i have been threw a diet only to fail? thats the way i feel now, i am so sick, nauseated, dizzy i havent cheated cept for last night when i was so sick and hungry i had a piece of deli ham i mean it was protein with being 98% fat free i needed something, i wanted and craved a salad soooo bad i wish i can have one, or something, i DONT want to FAIL but it feels like someone took my best friend away, i feel i am in mourning....

I will ask for really potent nausea meds when i leave ntohing like having that feeling and affraid to throw up cause your affraid to bust a stitch, i will never forget that, along with coughing, things i reemmber from the gall bladder surgery should help me with this..ask for nausea meds, cough med...LOL i also have about an hour ride home from the hospital where i will be staying and i remember hitting bumps hurt as well, i had a pillow over my belly....ahhh sweet memories..when i had that done my hubby was on a 6mo med cruise in the navy so a friend helped out poor soul...LOL

Why did they end up keeping you? i thought it was in and out in one day??? the queesy part is what i worry about, i remember when i had my gall bladder out years ago and i threw up non stop and was sooo sick, pain didn t bother me but being sick to my stomach did...Im glad all went well

Oh lord i am not making it here, as i stated in my above post i was feeling icky, well after dinner which was an EAS shake, beef broth and some cottage cheese 1.5 hrs later i threw it all up plus i think all the broth i had threw the day..i am right now sick to my stomach cant keep water down at this point..is this the best out there?.what do i do??? why cant i eat a salad and a peice of chicken? i failed once again and it really hasnt started, my awesome support group i have (husband...NOT) said whelp looks like your giving up again...WTH im sick, throwing up dizzy and thats what your gonna say to me??

good luck to you

This diet is killing me!!! this is day one of this pre-op diet, it would be a different story if i can have low fat things and or MEAT AI protein i am dying for something to chew and eat, i have had one atkins shake this morning and i about threw that up cause it was nasty, i have Unjury but dont want to use my 3 servings or dairy on that, i have had a can or chicken broth and a can of veggie broth and 2 jello's and i am STARVING and i am cooking my hubby and 7yr old salsbury steak and it smells awesome and i am sitting here with my stomach growling, my dinner will be another half shake (cause its nasty) and some cottage cheese and a yogurt, i want food like a salad with chopped chicken why does it have to be this liquid? why does other people eat chicken and veggies arghhhhhh im miserable right now, and this is day one, 14 more days to go

I am Tricare Prime south region i was approved right away i was not denied for anything, i have high BP high Cholest a BMI of 43 so i was perfect for the surgery...i am happy to have Tricare never a problem...good luck you should have no problem, they look at it in a way to where usually if you have Tricare you will be with them for a LONG time so they want you healthy, thats what my PCP told me and the surgeon, i may not have alot of Drs to choose from and i do have to travel an hour north of me but it will be worth it

((((Waving))) Hi another dec 15th here as well...starting my Liquid diet in the morning, a mixture of Atkins and EAS, broth, cottage cheese and yogurt i hope i can make it through this

Best of luck to you, check back with us as soon as you can so we know how you did

Turkey salad with lite mayo , could you imagine trying to get that down dry? I asked my mom for the Ninja for Christmas so i can make smoothies and puree alot of foods, im not a good cook, maybe thats why i am the way i am so i am gonna have to learn alot, and with a 7yr old and a husband with type 1 diabetes this is gonna be difficult, i am gonna have to make 2 different meals, i dont mind soups at all, i do mind a growling stomach so i hope i am not hungry...i am waiting for my Unjury to come in the mail to test that out, and i got Atkins double chocolate drink and i can tolerate maybe half of it and i have to stop so since the dr said 3-4 of those a day during my pre-op diet i will have to do halves all day im gonna go and get the strawberry today and try

I never thought about filtering out the solids, Hmmm makes me think to buy another turkey freeze it till about 1.5-2wks after surgery, cook it up and make some more soup, and do the same filter it out cause it has stringy spinach in it, i just wonder if the tomatoe paste will irritate my stomach, they say the acid sometimes can cause an irritation...Mmmm or make turkey salad nice and fine...sounds yummy

Before they made the changes to the board we used to get Email notifications when a new response and now i get nothing i am angry...so how is everyone doing? we all should be on or starting our liquid diets, mine starts Wed and toinight is pizza night, then leftover Turkey on Monday and my moms awesome turkey Soup Tuesday not looking forward to this diet but i have to do it

Heya guys Dec 15th here..Super excited but scared as well...start my pre-op diet on the 1st and more worried about that then the surgery, weird huh...i still havent found the perfect shake to drink 3x a day i can handle half an atkins shake and thats it, too sweet for me, so i will try my best and just down alot more broth then i probably normally would have..

I ordered my Unjury the other day and it should be here by the 29th...i may not use that for my 2wk pre-op diet i actually didnt mind the double chocolate from Atkins...i felt like Ralphie on a Christmas Story holding my nose drinking it it...LOL, hard to believe this is goin so fast

Amy my Dr is making me due the 2wk pre0op diet which i start on the 1st...i cant believe he is not having you do it, i take it, it shrinks the liver to make it easier to do the surgery, thats what i gathered..

I had my Gall Bladder out about 10yrs ago...i cannot believe you have to pretty much undergo this twice, you are gonna be so sore...they say the surgery is like having your gall bladder removed but 2 times in a month, yuck

Amy where in NJ are you? i was born and raised in NJ, southern cumberland co..so i am 100% Jersey girl....moved to FL in 2001 when my hubby was med discharged from the Navy

Right now is the time to stock up on broth, since alot of people use broth for thier Thanksgiving meal Walmart here in FL for the big broth is 1.50 and the cans are bogo im stocking up whenever i see bogo cant have pudding in my pre0op diet so i have strated to stock up on the jello gonna order the Unjury samples toorrow i hop they are better...

I am in deep poo....I start my 2wk pre-op diet on Dec 1 everyones diet is different, i have noticed that, but my dr is teeling me to drink at least 3 shakes a day AI EAS, Carb Advantage or Atkins....3 servings of dairy..AI skim milk, cottage cheese or yogurt...and unlimited broth, sugar free Jello and sugar free pops. My OH i need HELP is cause of the shakes, i bought the EAS to try try and i thought i was gonna hurl in the car, i took a sip and it was like a pure Vitamin was disolving in my mouth and i get sick off of the taste of Vitamins...the more i sipped the more i was getting sick...what can i do??? i have tried the Isopure Alpine Punch but i dont think thats a Meal Replacement and i cant drink that big whole thing either, i dont know what to do, i have serious issues with the taste of vitamins and MILKY products..oh man

Thanks i will do that, have yall tasted that? and i take it they dont sell that at GNC

Yeah the shake thing has me all weasy...i have tried EAS, Slim fast, Atkins and they all taste like a vitamin..LOL that makes me sick to my stomach...or left my mouth feeling gritty i know weird right...the Isopure Alpine Punch was drinkable but i couldnt drink the whole thing..im in deep doo doo come Dec 1 when i start my pre-op diet

Cherry, i am goin crazy with the protein shakes right now, i am to start my Pre-Op diet on the 1st and have tasted a couple brands and i am sickened by them, i am to drink 3 EAS shakes a day and they are nasty (to me) if you find one all the best to you but i am still searching

Thanks for the info...as for the last person im confused..but ok....Wonder why some drs have different methods of the 2wk pre-diet, i have seen people that were aloud to have 500 protein grams of protein a day like chicken and turkey yadda yadda, and why mine is the shakes, the broth i will have no problem with...LOL arghhh i hope i can make i through those 2wks, i will get all my Xmas shopping done then so i have my mind off food...LOL
