Pre-Op Liquids??? HELP

[Stephanie MG 0]

I did my 10 day liquid diet and IM so glad I did. My surgery went so great and my Dr was very glad I did it. I also lost 10 pounds! I think it prepares you for how the new life is goig to be for a while. I also weend my self off coffee and pop like 3 weeks before. I dont miss it it all now.

mine was 90 grams protien shakes, clear fruit juices (watered down) SF popcycles, SF Jello clear Soup broth.

Any how it was HARD, one day I even broke down in tears, try to take it one day at a time and stay busy, go out somewhere around dinner time, to let the time pass.

Im one week and one day out and ive lost 21 pounds I CANT believe it!!!

Im still on liquid diet for 3 more weeks,

I wasnt hungry at all the first 4 days after, now Im getting a little hungry but not tooo bad

Good luck, u can do it

wow stephanie.

sounds like you're doing great.

i only have about 3 more days till my surgery date. I just now decided to try to stick to some kind of diet.

I wonder if three days is really going to make a difference.

I decided to eat as little as possible till my surgery. Hope that helps some.

:nervous :Banane20: I didn’t get the kitchen in to the condition I wanted. I have way to much STUFF around.

:help: I have 10 days till I find my gold at the end of this rainbow.:clap2:

I found Joe Robb’s Protein drink at our local Henry’s and it’s not bad. I put ice cubs in it and I need to chew in order to get it down. I remember my mom doing this when she was on Optifast. She said that it took care of or chewing fixation.

My youngest DS was so cute. He could see that I was frustrated and he wanted to make me Breakfast. He asked if he could bring me Cereal, yogurt or even make me some toast. I told him that for the next few weeks I won’t be able to eat anything, only drink.:Banane20:

I’ve been working w/my kids on what I’m doing and why. Both my DSs have seen TV shows that talk or show the procedure. My DDs are only 4 and they’re not sure about it but try to understand.

Ok; I’ve been told that I need to get ready for a Padre game (that DH was supposed to go to w/the boys but he now has my sore throat). This will be hard, smelling and seeing all that food. I was hoping my first day would be calm.:help:

~~___________~~

Okay; I went to the game and came out a winner. I thought I might have problems w/seeing all that food. Well I didn't :clap2: I didn't even want any of it.

I’ve gone through my first day and survived!

When my DSs and I came home we picked up the rest of the family and went to Souplantation and while they had food I had Soup broths. I will need to have my other Protein soon too. I’ve only had the one from this morning. I’m okay right now but I know I should have one before I go to bed.

Well I’m proud of myself for accomplishing this first day!!:bananajump: :clap2:
