15 oz of Water

2 Popsicles

Drank not even half of my Campbell's Soup.< /p>

Walked 2x for 20 min each

I haven't started on my Vitamins yet. My Dr said to try tomorrow. So tomorrow will be day 3, so I will try the pureed food. We shall see.

My surgery was Thursday and I can have my Vitamins starting today (my vitamins are dissolvable). I am on liquids only until I see the surgeon for my follow up, next week.

Every surgeon is different, there is a surgeon in my area that is much less conservative than mine as far as the post op diet. Ithink I should be able to start my vitamins by day 2 or 3 post op and they are chewable.< /p>

You were right it is too early for the puree. IDK what I was thinking. But I did look over my paperwork and I'm suppose to start my vitamins tomorrow. Thanks for keeping me in check.

Omg...I sooooo agree!! I'm not necessarily hungry for anything in particular, I am just ready to have some more options.

Well, I was just scheduled for my surgery. April 16. Holy crap. Is there anyone out there heading for this surgery that is only 85% sure of actually wanting it? My surgeon does no pre-op diet either. Anyone else in that boat?

I'm around 90% sure I want this. I've done everything except my ECG (this afternoon) and my pre-op appointment. My thoughts change constantly from "I want/need this" to "omg, what am I doing?"

My surgeon doesn't do a pre-op diet either, but I have been substituting shakes to get used to them. My date is April 27 and I still have 5 lbs left to lose.

I'll be going into surgery in about an hour. NERVOUS. But very hopeful.

I know all will go well but I am sending prayers up on your behalf!! Remember to get up and walk as soon as possible afterwards to reduce the gas pain!
