Topic: RE: Positive things about pre op liquid diet
I am on day 6 of mine. I am ready to start chewing on my arm. I'm Hungry
BUT I will say that this diet has renewed my excitement about everything. I was starting to doubt whether or not this was a good idea for me. I've dropped 10 lbs and I know now that I can comply 100% with the rules!!!!!! yee haw!

Topic: RE: 2nd day of my pre-op liquid diet I'm starving HELP!!
I am on day 6 of the 14 day pre-op diet. I opted for Boost Glucose Control supplements. I get 6 a day and 3 solid liquid choices a day. I found on day 4 and 5 I was feeling tired and irritable. I was saving my 3 solid liquid choices for dinner. WRONG.. I need to space them out through the day. My blood sugar is dipping without the tiny amount of carbs I do get from the 3 solid liquids. Today, I started with 4 oz of sugar free oatmeal. At lunch 4 oz of potatoes(thinned) and added 2 oz of fat free cream of chicken soup to them. Yumm.. For dinner I am going to repeat lunch solid. So far today I have felt better physically. Not looking for to the 2nd week of the diet that starts monday.

Diana,
So glad to hear from you, I am sorry that things went a little rougher than expected. Rest as much as you can it really helps. I hope that you start to feel better soon and remember that we are here for you

Topic: RE: Home and ouchie
Happy your home. I did not have issues with the shoulder or neck, but my lower back was really sore. As far as the gas pains, it was definately in the center of my abdomin...And the other pain the is still consistant is to the left side under the rib cage. Think that is where most of the work is done..I also had a previous adhesion there that was removed, so that could be it to. All and all it is my 11th day and I am up and walking around outside with my dog. Feels really nice to be thru with the surgery..but I am pretty tired of cottage cheese and yogart atm. Looking forward to an egg.
Be glad to hear more from you once some of the meds wear off and your feeling better. Kathy

Glad you were able to stop and post something. Hope your feeling better soon and can update us. Been 11 days for me, and I am doing pretty well, but am still taking it easy. Just took the dog out for a walk and now have a support group meeting...Looking forward to my first meeting as a "post-op"....
