i am on day 13 of the 2 week pre-op diet.i have been sleeping lots.i sometimes think they do this so we can get used to what life will be like after surgery.i was like you and thought i would kill someone but i spent alot of time on this site and found others who were going through the same thing.just remember you are not alone we are here for you.

Topic: RE: I miss FOOD!

I told my husband tonight that while I do miss food, I truly miss chewing the most.  I'd kill for a scrambled egg right now!  But we only have a couple more days, it can be done!  

Jackie i hope everything went well with your surgery today!!

I am on my 4th week of opti-fast drinks and I have almost felt like I have just given up to the fact that I have no other choice.  Other than chicken broth and suger-free jello I can't eat anything else.  I also have wicked mood swings but no hunger.  I only have 6 more days to go.  arrrrg!!!
Good luck.

Better every day I was really in pain at the beginning for about a week then the pain started to decrease and now it only hurts when I over do it at my bellybutton site. The best part is the weight is coming off at like a pound a day or a pound every few days amazing!!!!!! Hope your feeling better too!

 Is it because you hate the taste of the liquid, or you're just hungry? If your pre op, the doctor wants your liver to get smaller, it makes it an easier procedure.
I wasn't on a pure liquid diet, but the crappy tasting food they gave me, made me switch to a primarily liquid diet on my own. I drank Unjury protein powder with skim milk, and I would have chicken bouillion too, it's the only real thing I had that taster foodie, not sweet.
Just between you and me, I did have some canned tuna mixed with a small amount of fat free mayo. That helped. I confessed to my regular primary doctor, and he said that wouldn't add fat to my liver, and I was safe. LOL
