Topic: RE: March 23rd!!!
My date is the 23rd too!! The things I've gotten are SF jello, popsicles, pudding, yogurt, lots of different crystal light flavors, SF applesauce. I know I can't start out with all that, but I wanted to get it while I was thinking of it. I've also heard to take a pillow to 'brace' your tummy when you are getting in and out of chairs and for the car ride home to help with the bumps.

Topic: Last day of Optifast, two days clears, then Monday Surgery
This is my last day of Opifast. What a time.  Everything was good tasting, if it wasn't I don't think I would be able to last as long as I did 14 days worth. Saturday and Sunday I will be starting my clear liquids. I made 4 different kinds of jello. I have everything for my 2 days. Thank God for that. And Then............my Surgery on Monday. I have to be at Christiania Hospital at 5:00 am. Surgery is set at 7:30 am.   I started already with my list that I have to bring at the hospital and I wrote as few reminders as leg lifts in bed, how to get out of bed, how to get rid of GAS and breath exercises. I hope I didn't forget anything. I am READY. I am really READY!!! Wish me luck.....

Topic: RE: March postops, what you eating?
I'm almost 3 weeks out and I'm eating baked potato, chili and cottage cheese still. I just have to remember to take really small bites, eat slow and make sure it's well chewed. I forgot a couple of times and it was NOT pleasant.

I had to do a disgusting colon cleanse the night before and use antiseptic body wipes over my abdomen the night before and that was it.  Good luck!!!!!

Topic: March postops, what you eating?
Ok, Marchers, I'm 10 days out and wondering what everyone else is eating/drinking?  I'm having a hard time getting down liquid protein, and any and all liquids feel like they sit right in my throat, whereas yogurts and puddings seem to sit better.  Anyone else have this problem?

 My Doctor prescribed a two day colon cleanse for pre-op.  He gave me my scripts for post op before I had the surgery so I can have them home when I got home from the hospital.
