Monie717 183 Posted March 28, 2016 @finallyfree....I would kill for a salad. My 2 week preop diet is low carb liquids only! I had an appt this morning with the surgeon and the nurse told me I could have 1 dill pickle spear/day. Woohoo! Something to crunch! Tomorrow I go for preop bloodwork and meet anesthesia. One week from today our lives will be changing for the better! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cat saaski 104 Posted March 28, 2016 I just have to say that today I want to eat something real bad!!! On day 5 of liquid only preop diet, surgery is Thursday. As I'm getting ready to cook dinner for my family I want to sneak a taste. And my body feels real weak today at least I know I only have 2 more days after this. Surgery is on the 31st and I know I'll be all liquids after that but I am hoping it will be a little easier considering the sleeve will be helping me.

cat saaski 104 Posted March 29, 2016 Thanks Monie. I haven't given in to any of the temptations yet! And I know I want to do everything I can to prepare for a successful surgery. But it is hard. I've spent the last two hours trying to talk myself into the Protein Drink, just not super fond of them. But I know I have to do I will and you are right the reward is worth it!

breezy25 69 Posted March 31, 2016 Day 5 here. Surgery is 4/4. Super sick of everything being sweet. My hubby was wonderful and went to the local hibachi place to get me some of that clear onion broth they bring you before your meal. It was amazing and saved the day!
