nowornever14 36 Posted August 31, 2014 Hi ladies and welcome in the club I am on the liquid for the last 14 days already and after the first 3 days it has become just routine. I did it before and really don't mind. Mind over matter, right and with such a goal ahead of us it really makes it easy. What I struggle with is getting closer to the surgery date but only because I had some trouble with the anesthetic in my last surgeries. But hey we never know . So keep your eyes on the ball and all will be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jojoreno 62 Posted August 31, 2014 I'm on the liquid diet and I can have 1 to 2 cups veggies with lunch and dinner. So I guess it just depends on the doctor. Mine no sf Jello or v8 not even popsicles. Then 3 days before surgery only the shakes.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sa1976 221 Posted August 31, 2014 My doctor just has me on a 1000 calorie diet. He said since I did so well over the three months I can eat, but no more than a 1000. I started yesterday. Today I was really tired. I do not know why, but I was not hungry. I did drink Unjury Protein Shake today. They are good. I think this is going to help me until my date Sept 11.

auntjanny 289 Posted August 31, 2014 Regarding the pre-op diet and veggies-- I went to pre-op class this past week and while 1 cup of vegetables (no starchy ones) is allowed for the majority of it, the doctors are now saying NO vegetables 48 hours prior to surgery or they will cancel it. Apparently a patient did not follow it, ate corn and has experienced lots of ongoing complications. They are adamant that we be compliant or risk surgery being stopped.

Georgia Pritchett 53 Posted August 31, 2014 Surgery is supposed to be September 3. I had a shock when I went for my pre-op on Friday and discovered that the office staff had the day off (which is strange because I was told to come in by noon that day.) Living in limbo now but still doing pre-op diet. Tomorrow I go to Clear Liquids. I will get this all straightened out on Tuesday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
