Surgery Scheduled for March

[AbbieL 63]

Well I did well today in the end, this is my day one. I am allowed 5 Protein Shakes, plus 2 cups of raw or steamed veggies. I made it through with 4 shakes and a big bowl of salad, which was yummy! I had 2 tbsp of fat free Italian dressing on it. I'm hungry now but I will just have a cup of milk before bed. I CAN do this for the next 10 days!

The hardest part was feeding my 21 month old who is a very picky eater, he likes to watch me eat something before he does. I pretended!

I have 2 weeks of pre op diet

Is it all liquids?

Awwww, I haven't seen many that have to do preop like me. I have to o a 21 day total liquid diet. No food at all. Just Protein shakes, naked juice, crystal light, chicken broth. I can have sf Jello and Popsicles, and no sugar added fudgesicles. That's pretty much it.

I was supposed to do a 14 pre op diet but I had short notice of the surgery date so I'm just doing 10 days.

I just 're read my notes on what I can have, sugar free Jello and popsicle s are allowed! As well as putting the veggies in a broth to make Soup.< /p>

Hey, I'm on day 4 of my liquid diet too and I feel great! I got a sudden burst of energy from somewhere and have been dancing around the house all day. I had a minor headache day 2, you might wanna have some sf Jello and make sure you are getting 64oz of Water or crystal light.

I'm on day 3, and I feel much less bloated, been peeing a lot. I swear I've lost weight already! I forgot to weigh myself on day one, so I don't know if I did.

Pre op testing on Tuesday.

I'm so excited about this whole thing now. Except the anesthesia part!

How's everyone feeling?

[newbeebee 23]

[newbeebee 23]

as crazy as it sounds I to am most worried about getting that iv - never seems to go well in the past

Can you have broth Soups?

[newbeebee 23]

I dont think so - not on my list

WOW Newbeebee! You are the only one I have encountered who's diet is worse than mine. I can have apple and orange juice, sf Popsicles, no sugar added fudgesicles, sf Jello and all low sodium broth Soups which really help. However, I have to go 21 days because of my BMI instead of 14. So I guess we all have something. It's going to be worth it. Hang in there, we can do this.
