Hey there.  My surgeon actually has a dietician who wants us all to start dieting as soon as we get cleared for surgery, even if that date is months away as mine was.  The surgeon asked that I do a liquid diet every other wee****il 2 weeks before surgery and then to do a only the 2 week liquid.  It was extremely hard to keep all that up but the doctor said he understood and that he only wanted me to do my best.  So I have lost about 10 lbs of fat (this was after losing about 15lbs of what I knew was jus****er).   

WOW congrats, you are doing amazing.

I had my surgery one day past you...the 9th.  I am keeping my fluids down great...no problems whatsoever with that :)  I am still on a clear fluid diet, ugh....so I ge****er, crystal light, broth, and Jello of course.  Cant wait to start full fluids on the 23rd or so.

My pain is still pretty lousy though, I went grocery shopping today...and did so slowly...Im still taking tylenol 3s and have a fair bit of general pain (not much gas pain though)......SOOO waiting for the pain to pass...sleeping is still a pain in the butt.

Where you guys got your surgeries, what are your post op eating plans like for the first month?

 I am also on a 2 day liquid diet, my surgery is Monday 2-15-10, I am on day one and I am craving everything but, this is all for the greater good, so I must keep my head up, best of luck to you on your surgery.

MIne is the same day-- Getting close now- only 12 days!  Soon we will be celebrating our one year "Surgiversary" and saying how quickly the time went....and how great we look and feel......Good luck!
