agirlofaith 71 Posted February 5, 2013 So surgery is Feb 20th. Preop diet starts Feb 10th. I'm consumed with wanting everything I know I will not be able to, and will not allow myself to eat! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sleevemeup 41 Posted February 6, 2013 Yes, I had a few food funerals. I made it, I'm 9 days away from surgery. Pre-op isn't that bad, just like any other diet that I have done time and time again, except this one will certainly end differently! Best of luck on the 20th~ 2 ElleG and agirlofaith reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

agirlofaith 71 Posted February 6, 2013 Yes good luck to us all! I stopped caffeine and all carbonated drinks 3 weeks ago. This past week has been my hault on Advil, (which I was an addict too) Tylenol sucks. Trying to lower the carb intake now until Sunday. Oh stopped alcohol this past Sunday.

Pam Peltz 56 Posted February 6, 2013 Why French onion Soup? And can someone explain why no caffeine? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amanda R 56 Posted February 6, 2013 French onion Soup has lots of cheese on top. Caffeine irritates the lining in your stomach Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sleevemeup 41 Posted February 6, 2013 I can have caffeine until surgery day. I stopped the wine at the beginning of my pre-op. I am 1 week away and have lost 9 lbs. I had 1 rough day, and a slight headache today. Other than that, it's been okay. I am so focused on the end result that I think that is why I am doing okay. And... my Doc said when I check in next Thursday, he will ask me if I have followed the diet, and when he gets in there he will know because of the size of my liver. All of my tests are great, so I think I can suffer a few more days. Good Luck everyone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pam Peltz 56 Posted February 19, 2013 Well one more day on liquid diet and then SURGERY!! Cannot believe it is so close. Tomorrow is going to drag. Went to movie tonight with my daughter and the smell of popcorn was torturous. But the new beginning is in sight. Praying for you all. 2 Band Mom 3 and agirlofaith reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
