Just a quick venting moment...

I'm on Day 5467 of the preop diet... okay fine- day 10/14, it just feels like forever.

My preop diet is all liquid Protein ONLY. No solids for 14 days. I am ALMOST there, and my surgeon actually advances your diet quickly, so there is an end in sight.

BUT I JUST WANT TO CHEW. I've chewed gum and spit it out. I want to crunch something. I miss pickles. Okay I sound crazy, just needed to share!

LOL well, I just took the sugar free Jello i have in the fridge (the ready made store bought kind- yes it's allowed!) and stuck them in the freezer out of desperation. Science project or amazing? Stay tuned...

Yes SF Jello and Popsicles made it bearable for me. I am out of pureed foods into soft foods now and I find that I am thrilled to have fish but I miss crunchy stuff- carrots, apples and other stuff that is really no longer a part of my routine just because of the crunch factor...Oh hey- I wonder about ice chips?? might be worth trying for both of us ;)

But it is coming so I am just trying to enjoy the discoveries each step brings.

I am right there with you! My surgery is Monday and I am dying for a super crunchy salad! I have also done gum and popsicles. I'm thinking of freezing some greek yogurt too. And ice chips. Crunchy ice chips. Argh!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
