Pre op liquid diet help!

[staceyd 25]

I am on day one of my two week liquid diet. I have protien shakes, Jello, sf pops etc.. Since we can have chicken broth can we have Soups like Tomato basil?

I am on day six of a 14 day liquid diet, my surgery is October 23. Unless your dietician said its okay I would stay away from that kind of Soup.

How are you doing otherwise? For me its tough some days other days I do fine, but I am sticking to what I am suppose to eat, I have not cheated at all.

I'm at day 6, too and I'm not going to lie - it's tough. I haven't cheated but it hasn't been fun. broth isn't bad. You can add seasoning and spices Get wonton Soup and just drink the broth. Definitely drink lots of Water. I really think that after this puréed food sounds fantastic! Who would have thought. Best of luck to you and know we're all in the same boat!

I'm doing over all ok. Today was a bad day for me. I was in such a mood and I've had a headache since this afternoon. I'm used to headaches and I would only get relief from excedrin but I don't want to use it now ( I know that's out of my medicine cabinet after surgery). Do you get headaches?

I'm scared I'm not going to be able to stay on my pre op diet. Have to start it Oct.28th.

You can do it!

If you think about you health during the op it's great motivation, this can also help you prepare your mind for post-op.

I am almost a week into my pre-op. Only thing I struggle with is Water but keeping busy also helps.
