Surgery date July 9 ! Pre-op liquid diet started.

I started my preop diet today.  Surgery July 13th.  Unfortunately, I think something I after at a picnic yesterday did not agree with me or I've come down with a stomach bug.  I've had a headache since yesterday and quezy stomach - was up half the night with acid reflux.  Then started my preop diet with an unjury vanilla shake sample.  Yuck!!  I wont be buying any more of that flavor.  So off to a quezy start.   Hopefully I'll feel better by tomorrow.

I did find a cranberry lemonaide powder that is like crystal light (only 5 calories per serving).  This is really tasty.  Well two weeks to go.  Let's keep in touch.

I agree - those crystal ligh****er mixers are very tasty.  Makes drinking water a real pleasure  lol.

I start my 2 week (6 x per day carnation w/skim milk), plus unlimited water, crystal light diet on July 8th, signing papers on July 9th, then surgery is scheduled for July 22nd.  I'm getting very excited.

Nancy,

I started my pre-op diet today as well.  Technically, I wasn't supposed to start yet but I figured Monday was as good a day as any.  It hasn't been too terrible but I've been drinking water constantly so I don't feel hungry. 

I've already warned my husband that I'm going to be grumpy for the first three days! 

Good luck and I hope you feel better soon.

I am feeling better today.  Had a shake for breakfast and lunch.  Had 3 sea scallops with lettuce & fat free dressing for dinner. 

 

Yumm, scallops!

Glad your feeling better.

I'm on day 10 of my 2 week pre-op liquid diet.
It consists of clear liquids, at least 64 oz., broth, crystal light, gatorade, sugar free popsycles, 3 to 4 cups of apple or cranberry juice, as well as protein shakes at least 4 of those, to make up my 60 to 80 g of protein a day.   Surgery is July 7th
