I started my liquid pre-op diet last Monday. Last week went by pretty well, but this weekend was go go go. I am allowed veggies along with my liquids so I snacked a lot on carrots and broccoli and such this weekend because we were on the road from Friday until late last night. We ended up staying with family overnight on Saturday so I had a little scrambled eggs in the morning for Breakfast as I did not have my Protein. Justified it to myself as I am allowed to have egg drop Soup so I thought one scrambled egg would not be the end of me I sure hope not. Ugh....two more weeks to go until surgery.

I buy the Unjury Protein powder in a container and always have a few packs of Jay Robb whey chocolate protein for on the go times. Yesterday i made my shake in the car i bought milk and got a cup of ice in the cafeteria. I would have never made it to 10pm without that shake. I also eat tapioca 90 cal or applesauce unsweetened when I am not going home i carry one with me in a small cooler bag. I have lost 8lbs so far this is day 10 of preop. Surgery on Monday 10th.

I am in the same boat @BrownEyedTxGirl. All surgeons have different pre op rules I suppose. I have read some pre op patients have lean meat or fish also ... I am jealous lol

The preop diets are so different in both food and time frame. Not sure what the difference is. I can only think my surgeon wants his patients to practice what it will be like for the 2 weeks after surgery so he chooses the full liquids versus having shakes and small meal. I know he and his entire staff went through the 2 week full liquid diet so they would know what his patients go through.

The two weeks after has been more difficult to me. Seems like everyone's posting the dinner pictures on IG or FB. ???????????????? I'm getting my Protein and fluids. I'm sure this will pass soon....ready for purée stage. ????????????

I'm doing pretty good. The liquid phase is a little more difficult than I thought it would be but I'm surviving. ????

Your big day is approaching fast! I hoping and praying for a speedy recovery. ????

During the 2 weeks post op it seemed as if every commercial was for something with bacon.
