July 2013 sleevers

My pre op diet is very minimal like broth, and slim fast, Decaf coffee, sugar free Jello. I don't have a dietitian or nut, I did email my contact, she didn't seem too worried about the weight gain. I'm having surgery in Mexico and its a 15 hour drive for us, I don't want to get there and them not be able to do it that would be devastating!!

My date is July 2nd! I started my one week pre-op liquid diet yesterday and it is ROUGH! My Dr is Dr Kim and I'm terrified to eat anything becasue I want my liver to be well enough for surgery but I am so needing to chew something. Any help or tips would be appreciated!

Have you tried chewing ice (like crushed ice?). That always helped when I needed something to eat but wasn't allowed during my inductions with the boys.

I got my date today! It's July 8th! I'm a little anxious because my surgeon likes a 2 week pre-op diet but the date is less than 2 weeks away! I started the diet tonight. I happened to have a support group meeting tonight and my dietitian was there and I talked to her about it; she said it would be okay.

I am 4-days in with my liquid diet. Yes, I will admit I ate 4 small cashews yesterday when I was traveling for work on my flight home but other than that nothing else. I chew a lot of Sonic Ice but overall I have done well. I have lost 5-lbs...praying my 4 cashews will not hinder my July 1st surgery date....pushing Water today and the next 4-days to flush everything out as much as I can. Good Luck I know you will do well ~
