Spicy3 11 Posted November 15, 2013 Honestly it isn't as bad as I thought it would be. From reading other posts I feel my dr has a more strict pre op diet.. 2 weeks liquid.. 3 Protein drinks, Jello, sugar free pops, broth and one yogurt a day.. It's day 5 out if 14 and I'm feeling good.. I would kill for some Tomato Soup right now but it's all going to be worth it.. Also my surgeon didn't require any weight lost before he would schedule the surgery so I'm guessing that could be why the pre op is so strict.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Truckerchic 171 Posted November 15, 2013 Sf hot chocolate with unflavored Protein is very yummy on these chilly nights...also if you get headaches your first few days sip on some 99% fat free chicken broth, the little extra salt helps with those and it counts toward your liquid goal.

DirtyHarriett 94 Posted November 15, 2013 You can do it! I followed the diet and had surgery Wednesday. I am doing great and I know the program before surgery really helped my surgery and recovery. Hang in there! You CAN do this! 2 ddw12 and luv2plumb reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ddw12 27 Posted November 16, 2013 I'm on day 3 and doing good! Not wanting to kill anyone or eat someone!! Lol I'm glad my doc allows cream soups! I love the cream of chicken mixed with Water and then add just a few drops of franks buffalo wing sauce!!! We can do this! YOU can do this!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
calicakes 24 Posted November 16, 2013 My surgery is on the 19th. I started my pre-op diet on Nov 5th. The first few days were brutal. I can have broth, sf Jello, pudding, sf yogurt, fruit juice, Protein Shakes and Soup. I'm eating the boxed organic Soups. Tomato and the like. I've also gotten soup at whole foods( hot food) and trader Joes( minestrone). I cant stomach the low-fat cream soups. Those are meant for casseroles!! I've lost 9lbs so far. On Sunday( at noon), I switch to Clear Liquids until Monday at midnight. On Monday I do the bowel prep. Those 2 days of clear liquids will be hard. I love the FitFrappe Protein shakes from Big Train. They almost make me think I'm drinking a starbucks frappacino. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperFab 689 Posted November 16, 2013 I did end up having a muscle milk Protein Drink at work! I really want to try the Unjury chicken broth and the unflavored so I can mix it in with juices and things like that! I'm just doing one week so hopefully all goes well! The first day haven't been too bad! Mmm I love the strawberry muscle milk. So far muscle milk is my favorite. 1 luv2plumb reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This morning we went out for Breakfast for perhaps my last full breakfast (I spared nothing). 2 luv2plumb and KeeWee reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
