Pre op must haves!?!

[theresa_86 3]

I start my 14 day liquid diet on the 22. I'm starting to get my list of things together. What are some things you couldn't have done it with out?

I know some docs and nuts have different pre op diet plans but my allowed must haves were ice pops...its the only thing you can really chew during this time, and I really REALLY missed the action of chewing my food lol. Besides that I would go to the local japanese restaurant and order a quart of their clear Soup to go...just scoop out the mushrooms. The sodium in that was probably a bit high but my doc didn't seem to mind that. Good luck!! You got this!

I couldn't have done it without the right attitude.

Just know the first couple days on liquid diet you will be hungry, cranky, tired, weak, etc. On the 3rd day I was fine
And started to be satisfied to the point I did not feel like I was starving. I miss chewing food, SF popsicles are great!
I am on day 8 and I feel I will make ok until the 12th for my surgery. Good luck!

I m scheduled for September 18th and just started the pre liquid diet 3 days ago. Today I find myself gagging at the smell of the Protein Shakes. They said I should have 60 grams of Protein and the shakes have 30g so technically I only need 2 shakes a day. What other liquids have others tried besides broth, Jello and SF ice pops. Thanks

Herbal tea, though I admit I didn't have a lot of it. I couldn't have made it without Crystal Light!

13 days of liquid diet with one small meal was a breeze compared to today as I am doung my final day of clear liquid diet before surgery tomorrow. This day is BITTER! sweet. Stomach pains suck!
