Two weeks

Since my surgery is on the 29th, I've got two weeks to go. Between now and then I've got two weeks of a liquid diet (13 days left), and one day of nothing but clear liquids until my surgery.

I'm not going to complain about my liquid diet. Okay, maybe one complaint: the shakes have a really awful aftertaste. But seriously, I've eaten things with much worse flavors, with a lot more calories, and with no reason at all. This isn't awful, and it's going to help my body get ready for surgery. It's just two weeks of my life, and I know it's not that big of a deal. :)

Anybody else sliding in to home base yet? I can't believe how fast this month is flying by! This is one amazing ride.

Hi good luck with your liquids.  I'm surgery +6 days now and wouldn't look back.  Take Care Debbie

Good luck!!  What kind of protein drinks do you have?  The ones I use aren't all that bad.

I'm 2 weeks post surgery and I too wouldn't look back.

I am on day 8 of liquids...I have my surgery on the 22nd.  Hardest part for me was feeling sluggish and some headaches.  Good Luck!!

The shakes I'm on are HMR800. IMHO it's basically an 800 calorie a day pre-surgery doctor-prescribed "crash-diet." I'm almost ashamed to admit that I haven't yet chosen a protein shake for afterwards. I've tried a couple, but I keep changing my mind. I'll probably choose in the last week, and then go buy enough to last a month. (I know I can change my mind later if I hate it, but I'm very frugal and don't want to waste my money.) 

I'm so glad that the doc says we can break it up a bit with some broth, because the are rather cloying. I'm especially grateful for the dill pickles.

Truly I'm not complaining. I'm thrilled to be this close to my date. Someday these two weeks will seem like a blur.

I suppose I should be happy that I don't have the pre-op diet. I am beginning to gather all my things that I will need. I am scheduled for 3-24....
I am so very nervous and excited at the same time...
Good luck to you!!
What about the dill pickles?
