[funnygurl 8]

Hello there!!!

Today is my fist day of liquid pre-op diet' date=' I have read and seen so many videos of people struggling through the first days of liquid diet............... "NOW" I get it! hahahhhaha

My surgery day is July 4th 2013.

I'm almost done with day 1!!!

My menu so far has been:

Breakfast: vanilla Isopure with Water, 4 oz grape juice mixed with 2 cups Water.< /p>

Middle morning: sugar free Jello

Lunch: 1 cup chicken broth, 4oz cranberry juice mixed with 2 cups water.

Middle afternoon: sugar free Jello

Dinner: planning to have 1 cup of Isopure Zero Carb clear Protein and 1 cup of tea.

I guess the rest of my days will be similar, any ideas???[/quote']

Hello everyone!! Im set for surgery on July 17th and begin liquids on the 2nd. I'm excited about finally starting the journey and have been preparing for my turn on the losers bench.. I am having my mom and hubby do all the cooking for my family. It will be a long vacation for mommy. A well deserved vacation from cooking and housework. I think I deserve it. My doctor isn't allowing anything but Protein shakes, sugar free jello and sf popsicles. I can even have chicken broth.< /p>

Dear penguin13 and genepha

Nice to meet you! And thanks for replying to my post.

I'm glad to hear that both of you are doing just great! Keep up the good work!

I am so excited!!!! 4 more days to go and I'll be on the losers bench!

I have a question....

I do not fear anesthesia nor pain or scars....

I'm terrified about the drain, how bad is it?

I didn't have a drain so I can't speak to that.

My doctor generally doesn't do drains, he does it on a case by case basis and surprisingly, I didn't need one!

Good luck on your surgery!, im schedule for my aug 15

[Lizcalle 24]

Hi ladies, how is everyone doing?

Hope those that had surgery are having a wonderful recovery.

Am excited about the 11th. Finally the day is much closer.

I have been over weight all my life. Am ready to start a new one with a new me.

Ladies,

A drain is no big deal. I had one and you may have some pain at the incision site but it is not severe. You will also be given pain killers after your surgery. I had my surgery in Mexico and the drain was in for 2 days. I used a lanyard to hold it while I showered or when I walked. When it was removed, it was a non-event, no pain or trauma. The nurses come and empty it several times a day and I was able to empty it easily after discharge from the hospital. I had surgery on a Monday, stayed in hospital til Wednesday noon, and spent 2 nights in a hotel. The drain was removed Wednesday night. You will be fine! Good luck to all of you.

Ey friends! Today is day 3 post op.

I'm feeling better every day.

Lizcalle the drain wasn't as bad as I thougt. I have to confess that as a control freak, I was taking care of it every second (day and night) haha

It didn't hurt. It was more like a discomfort.

When the doctor pulled it out yesterday it was a not likeable sensation for me, but it didn't hurt at all.

I'm siping all day long!!

I'm staying at my sister's in law house. Tomorrow I'm going back home.

Take care everyone and my best whishes for all of us!

I've been using Tapitio and Tabasco to my broths and soups!! I'm 5 days out and haven't had a problem. Check with your nutritionist first though oh and I only use a few shakes not my usual spicy but enough to get the taste
