Topic: RE: Liquid diet making my stomach turn!
Liz,
How about sugar free jello? It's slightly chewy and it helps. The other thing, you might be able to freeze your shake and make it like an ice cream or frozen goodie. Just a thought. Hang in there, I'm here for your venting pleasure
we'll get through this!

Topic: RE: 4 more days!!!
Joetta,
You're the day before me and I know what you mean about being nervous. From all the postings I have read, they say to pack light and remember chapstick! I have to go get vitamins and protein drinks today and tomorrow and then I think I will be ready to rock and roll. My hubby is off from school until Jan 20th so he will be my nurse LOL.
You're in my thoughts and prayers are we start our journey. Please keep in touch.

Topic: 4 more days!!!
I am having my surgery on the 7th and am SO VERY nervous ,I think I have worried myself into an ulcer LOL. I know I will do fine I am just not a big fan of pain and have had 3 abd surgeries so I know what I am in for, I am working right up to the day before ( I work in the ER dept) sothat helps keep my mind busy, I still have not packed a thing, I will the nite before. I do have all my protein drinks and shakes and vit in place, hubby will be taking care of me for the 1st week then if i still need help I will have my mom and daughter if need be, and of course my friends at work are all to willing to help if need be. So I wish us all the best and speedy recovery possible. Wow great way to start out 2009 huh.
Well I finally have my date it is January 7th 2009, So I will be starting off in the new year with a new me.

Liz,
You can do this, just keep your eye on the prize and remember it won't last forever. What kind of shakes are your drinking? When is your surgery? Can you supplement with broth or tea or sf sodas or SF jello? I am here to support you as I am on all liquid until my surgery next Thurs. We can do this together.... I promise.

Topic: RE: STARVING
So I'm on 3 slim fasts a day and sugar free jello. Do I have it right?
During my pre-op examination the office forgot to tell me what to eat for the week before my surgery. I called and when the nutritonist called back she sounded in a rush and just said three slim fasts a day and sugar free jello.
I'm sorry, but this is downright impossible. I tried for two days and when i couldn't stop shaking I had half a bowl of tomato basil soup today for lunch. I got full very fast and immediately stopped eating.
I can't get in touch with my nutritionist to get some set guidelines on this thing. Hopefully I haven't ruined things by having the half bowl of soup.
Has anyone else been asked to just have 3 shakes and jello for a week? If so, how did you get through it?

Hi there, congrats on your surgery date, you'll be right behind me, but we're all gonna get through this together.

You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.
