liquid diet

UGH!!!! i started my 10 day preop liquid diet today..... it sucks i hate it ! BUt on the bright side after 9 more days i will be ahving my surgery so that a yay factor! the 18th ... can't wait , so could it hurry a little faster please

It isnt so bad having to do the liquid diet from his side of the fence, like it was before. It is hard to explain, but Propel and SF Carnation Instant Breakfast have become my friends since surjury, along with CHOCOLATE SF pudding!...For now, I am in heaven and really do not want food, it will pass quickly and soon you will be enjoying liquids in a different light. Best of luck and keep us informed! Hugs, Sandy

Hi-Jack Evening Starr where did you get your SF Carnation Instant Breakfast from. I got the regular and throught my Dr. said SF. Now Danielle keep your head up, you can do it. I have 13 more days and just can't hardly stand it. So over here.

I had a student nurse who would bring me extra packets from the hospital galley (kitchen) Im going to get out tonight and see if I can find it at any of the grocery stores here locally. I already looked at WalMart and they didn't have it last week, so on to the other stores around here. If I find it, I will post.

YAY! I'm on the 18th too!!! Luckily I don't have to go on a liquid diet, but I have been having protein shakes in the morning for breakfast anyway(part of my own little pre-op diet). GOOD LUCK HUN!!! I can't wait until the 18th, I'm SO excited! Only 10 more days!!!!!!!! I'll see you on the losing side! peace, Michelle

I got confused with the S/F carnation too because the box doesn't say S/F it is carb smart or something, in the blue box. I have 1 more day on liquid diet then Sunday I am on clear liquids and bowel prep for my surgery Monday. I started liquids the day after Easter and I thought I would die especially when the girls in the office ordered out for lunch. they really didn't care if I was on a liquid diet or not. I can tell you it does get easier but I don't think I can drink another low carb slim fast as long as I live !!!
