Pre-op Rant

[James8525 3]

Today makes the third day on the liquid diet I only have 4 more days left. My surgery is Monday January 16th 2017! Yay I'm excited, anxious, nervous and a bag of mixed emotions tonight. I don't think I've ever felt more hungry my life especially as my mom was cooking dinner today homemade pot roast with potatoes and carrots and here I had to drink Clear Liquids popsicles, Protein shakes,

& Water I'm not even sure that I'm getting the 800 recommended calories in a day I am keeping track of my Protein but I think I'm on the lower side of 500 calories that's why I've lost 4 pounds in 3 days I'm sure. I am a mixed emotions also because my best friend feels that he needs to share with people that he barely knows and is just meeting my story of what I'm having done on Monday, inviting them to come along with us just so that he doesn't have to pay $131 for three nights in a hotel room. I didn't invite you to come along I asked you to drop me off and pick me up. If you can't afford it don't go we've had our ups and downs but I just don't know how to talk to him about this it's hard right now.

I feel ya on the liquid diet..this is my third day too because my surgery is on Monday as well!!

As for the friend..I'm not sure really what to say..I wouldn't want my friend inviting bunches of people either..just focus on you don't stress anything else around you. This liquid diet sucks but we'll get through it:)

Hello. Well i was supposed to have started the diet on saturday the 7th but i actually started on friday but failed miserably on saturday eating chicken nuggets.. Soo since monday ive been on liquids its hard wanting and desiring so much food. I know i can do it because i did it 5 days in the hospital all liquids and was fine.but here at home is soo hard.. Now im just drinking Water and some sips of cranberry juice and my Multivitamins in liquid.I still haven't had any Jello or popsicles due to my chances of having pneumonia again. It really sucks but we can do it... What are you guys drinking?

2017 get ready for Me!

The liquid diet is so hard! I struggled with it each minute too, but now... it's just a memory. The last two months have gone by so quickly. Try to focus on your goal and stick with your plan. You can do this.

As for your friend--sounds like a jerk. Is there someone else who can help you with transportation?

I've been drinking chicken broth and that has helped make me feel like I'm consuming a warm "meal"..

I've been eating the Jello and ice pops and that has helped tremendously feeling something a little more "solid" enter your stomach. It's killing me so bad..but I know the outcome of where I'm headed will be a much better one! good luck girlie! You've got this!
