You can eat most all foods after. I didn't have a chance to eat anything as I was camping when I got the call to schedule surgery and my pre-op appt was the day we came home, which was less than two weeks out. I started my diet that day. Which was 6 days from the date of surgery. I could eat a small Protein based meal and two Protein shakes a day.

I can now eat about anything I want, just in smaller sized portions and I really don't "miss" anything. When I look at the piece of pie or whatever I see hours on the treadmill and don't want to have to workout any longer than I do(which is about an hour and half a day). That makes motivation a lot easier to STAY away from those items:)

Good luck to you, I look forward to hearing your journey in a few weeks!!!

I'm ten days into my pre-op diet and I did do a last meal thing (it was Thanksgiving) and I just had a bit of everything that I wanted instead of following my low carb ways that I've been practicing since last July. THEN it turned into the next day and next day and I had a terrible time with my first four days on my liver shrink diet. I think I would've been way better off if I didn't let myself indulge that way. I even had a breakdown on day four and ate bread and a muffin. They were no where near as good as I thought they would be, but I've been so so so so hungry since I've been on the pre-op diet. Surgery on Monday so I'll hang in there, I don't think it's worth it to have the last meal(s)

I went off my diet right before the liquid diet. The first week of the liquid diet I was able to have one meal at dinner time so at least I had something to look forward too. The second week of the diet is all liquid. It was pretty hard especially lasagna night! I stayed out of the kitchen and sat in a different room while my family ate in the dining room. I don't regret going off my diet. The first day of the liquid diet was the worse day because I felt bloated and tired. My son put a picture on the refrigerator that says, "It's worth it and I love you." He's only 10 but gets what I'm going through sometimes better than my husband. Surgery is Monday and I have one family Christmas dinner this weekend. I'm planning on taking a shake with me and some sugar free Jello.< /p>

your son is correct and very wise for his age. Shows that you did a good job raising him!!!! It is only two more days and I know that you will be tempted but think of the long term goals you have!! You can do this!!!!
