Im trying to practice the no drinking 30 mins b4 eating n 30 mins after,,,never realized how thirsty i get after eating! Which leads me down the path of wanting to stay properly hydrated all day....

I worry about that also, I always drink a lot during and after meals. That will definitely take some getting used to.

I feel silly asking, but what exactly is a strained cream Soup? For ex- would i make a canned Soup, say cream of chicken, as per directions and then dump it thru a strainer, and what comes thru the strainer i can eat?
Did i just answer my own question, lol?

Yeah, that's what it is! Our directions say to mix a can of cream of [whatever] up with milk, prepare according to directions, and then strain out all the bits and eat what's left.

We're also allowed to go to a restaurant and get their chicken noodle soup, strained. (Apparently the restaurant is fine with doing that?)

It does, it does. Not as bad until you go on soft foods. Keep yourself hydrated the rest of the day and you won't miss it as bad!

I am scheduled for surgery on October 9th! I am beyond nervous and excited at the same time. I will only be off from work for one week so I am a little nervous on how my return to work will go. I start pre-op liquid diet on Tuesday. I look forward to hearing from everyone as they start this new life. Good luck to you all!

Hi there, I need to be back on deck within a week as well... I am rolling the dice and hoping for a smooth recovery! I am trying to dodge booking commitments for the days immediately after (my work involves a lot of face to face meetings, working lunches etc). Scheduled for October 18th. Good luck as you move into pre-op!

How long is everyone’s preop diet? My dr only requires 1 week of liquids for preop. I start that oct 1.

I feel kind of bad sharing this, but I only have to do a one day pre-op.

If it works for you and your surgeon, it's not my place,to complain. May be all the prep you really need!😛

For my band back in 2012 I had to do one day and drink that awful stuff. This week long liquids thing is not fun. But here’s to all the Oct 1 sleevers!!! Just today to get through!!

[CrankyMagpie 509]

I can't believe it's October tomorrow!

Good luck, @aapb79Gmail.com, @chicagogirl74, @chuckwalsh, @clara1900, @cw19147, @irishgal21, @JennieJuniper, @momofmjbm, @Red Alicia, @Yare_2018, and any other October 1 sleevers I may have missed!
