August 9th...clear liquids for me!

So today (sunday) is the first day of my two day clear liquid pre-op diet. good times. 

i'm nervous. excited. i imagine im going to be cranky. the 2nd day i have to take this antibiotic that i'm told will make me nauseous and have to take some milk of magnesia...yay self-induced stomach flu symptoms lol.

 

Man i wish i only had to do 2 days.  I had to do 14.  My surgery is also on august 9th at 7:30am, have to be there at 5:30am.  Keep me updated ok, would love to know there's another person going in the exact same day as me.  Good luck!!

 you had to do two weeks of nothing but clear liquids? i thought that is what i was going to have to do but my doc said it was only two days. but jello/broth/juice for 2 weeks? omg. 

although i am not hatin on the broth cuz i just had some for the first time and it is the most yummy thing ever in my life. 

Yep 14 days.  I'd be lying if i said i stuck to it 100% cause i surely didn't.  But i just had some vegetable broth.  tomorrow prolly chicken.  beef is disgusting.  i am actually tired of broth.  i HATE jello, and popsicles are just too cold, but the fudgesicles are good

 you can have milk/milk solids? 

i totally can't have even nondairy creamer. stupid...diet. 

lol 

i am NOT enjoying this part of the process. BUT only a dayish left! woot!

I just started my liquid diet yesterday and it is for 7 days......my surgery is on the 16th... it is not too bad so far but I am trying to stay busy and sleep as much as possible lol!!!!

 i TOTALLY slept as much as i could lol 

 how is life since the "cut and paste"?

My 14 days was up yesterday and I had very little food and lots of protein shakes!! I had a serving of fruit, vegetable and a starch along with the shakes in between. I've lost more weight during this time, not sure how much I weigh now but I started the liquid diet at 283 lbs! Monday is my big day at 1:00 pm!

Oh and by the way today is my clear liquid diet with the Magnesium Citrate!.......
