503-250 1 Posted August 31, 2006 Thanksgiving was my last solid meal before surgery, I went through the two weeks with no problems. I recommend sugar free Jello and pudding...and just keep in mind that this is getting you where you want to be. I also favored the Carnation Instant Breakfast shakes over the powder shakes.< /p> Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
"Just" Paul 1 Posted August 31, 2006 I had to do it... it wasn't easy, but I lost 15 lbs in those 2 weeks, and it helped "clean" out my insides prior to the surgery, which my docs says makes recovery easier. My doc is a real stickler on this stuff... 2 weeks pre-op, low carb liquids.< /p> 2 weeks post op Clear Liquids 2 weeks pureed foods/thick liquids 2 weeks mushies then Gradually move into solids. He says NO exceptions, and has you work with the dietician on a plan outlining your meals and supplements. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ItsGottaGo! 0 Posted August 31, 2006 I just got back from Publix. I am loaded up with liquids, so you should see me floating down the road soon. I can do this, I can do this, I can do this....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
503-250 1 Posted August 31, 2006 This is a bit gross, but I would also recommend flushable baby wipes...I had some...issues with....discomfort before and after the surgery. Nothing solid in, nothing solid out. I'm assuming since there were no solids, the stomach acids were being expelled. The wipes were a complete and total life saver.
