My head ache was better today but I did cheat and have cut up lettuce with a lil ranch. Feel bad but no longer ravenous

My surgery is May 8th no liquid diet for me. Just my own diet of choice. Have to do Clear Liquids the day before but that's it. So excited!!!!

May 7 for me and I should be doing 2 shakes and a decent meal a day but I got so lightheaded and so sick that I'm doing one Protein Shake and 2 high Protein low carb decent meals a day.

May 6 for me- i was nothing but excited until this morning when the nerves kicked in. It's time to start thinking about getting the laundry caught up, meals together for my family for next week, and packing for the hospital stay. It seemed exciting when it was further away! However, i am ready to just do it. This pre op diet is challenging, i cheated yesterday and ate a piece of pizza-yikes! I did fine while people were eating it, it fact they ate downstairs away from me, then i was putting leftovers in a bag to put in fridge and before i know it one nibble turned into one piece before the rational part of my brain could stop me! I'm moving forward strong today- going to do liquids only these last 3 days (dr plan allows some food). I know some people don't even have to do pre op diet and some do 3 days only, so i don't feel like i've blown the liver shrinking. Anyone's Dr require a bowel prep of any kind?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who did that! Mine was someone at work offering me a piece of pizza, when I said no, he practically shoved it in my face, so I caved, and at it! That was last week, I've been going strong this week, but did eat a salad with chicken on it last night... the way I see it, it was still low carb, high Protein, and who knows when I'll be able to tolerate salad again?

As far as a bowel prep, my doctor doesn't require it, but I'm doing it anyway... maybe it will help make up for my cheats.

I am so excited! I'm down 15lbs from preop so far. I've surprisingly been doing really well on my preop. I cheated once at a luncheon we hosted at work. I made it through the whole day with just my shakes and Water and right at the end I ate a bunch of cheese. So not too bad. I also have only been having 3 Protein shakes and 2 Protein puddings instead of four shakes and one pudding. I figure thats ok. I just can't get down the last shake.

I can't believe it is only 3 days away! Can't wait!

What are some of your post op diets? My doctor lets us go right to soft (mushy) foods. I'm probably going to eat creamy Soups and refried Beans thinned with chicken broth. Let me not forget my protein shakes!!

[krystle. k 26]

liquid diet post op only for a week until the follow up appointment I can barely choke down the broth. I'm doing OK with the shakes if you add some sf ff pudding to them they are creamier.

I'm scheduled for May 6th as well! Starting to get nervous, but excited . Today I'm going to costco to buy some Premier Protein shakes; I also ordered the Unjury unflavored Protein Powder & chicken Soup from their website yesterday. My preop diet is going well, I'm on the 4 shakes +1 meal plan. How is everyone doing? What types of Protein Shakes are you stocking up on?

[krystle. k 26]

I like the Protein powder better then anything. I'm not a fan of the Premier Protein but I can choke down the chocolate if I put it over ice the vanilla is awful. I like the powders because you can add stuff to them I found a website with recipes for shakes after surgery. strawberry whey and sf ff dry cheesecake pudding mix is great also choc with sf ff choc pudding mix is great makes them creamier and taste a lot better.
