feeling very sick

MY SURGERY IS ON 9-19-05 I HAVE TO DRINK SLIMFAST FOR 5 DAYS.HELPPPPP I'AM SO HUNGRY,

I personally think that Slimfast is really really bad. I preferred using vanilla flavored protein powder and adding some sugarfree hot chocolate if I craved chocolate. That worked for me!

Hi Frederica, my surgery is also on the 19th. My doc does not require the liquid diet. I would do it if I had to though. It is just a moment in time that will pass soon. And it will all be for the good. Yay A new you, will soon be here. You are in my prayers. Vickie

Fredrica, I am now 6 days post op and when I was a week pre-op I had to do clear liquids and protien shakes and vits..... to survive this cause i went crazy the first couple of days, I bought a scale, I wanted to know that all the pooin and complainin was at least paying off, It did I lost 18lbs prior to surgery. I also kept in mind that this would give my doc a better field of vision and I wanted to make sure he could see what he needed to see.... I also bought everything I could think of that was clear or on my docs list. I got more than a little tired of boullion and water so i made soup and just didn't eat the "stuff" in it....that was about the best tastin stufff I had the entire week my daughter couldn't keep her hands out of it....at my lunch I went to the shops and looked at clothes that I am still not sure I will be able to wear....but i was dreaming.. I also gathered up all of my support. my husband and daughter did clear liquids protien shakes and vits with me.. I thought they might me... I started taking long walks using my long forgotten gazell machine....and now after it alll oh yeah and a bought of post op pnuemonia i can say i am down 24lbs and i feel better already.......this was not east by any means but it made any hunger pains i felt easier to ignore.... Just know that God is looking out for you and do exactly what your told by your doc to do..... In my thoughts and prayers Debbie

thanks debbie

Hey Fredrica, I have been on a pre op liquid diet and the only way that i have been able to keep the aweful stuff down was to drink it with a peg on my nose and brush my teeth straight after. Sounds terrible but i have been able to keep it down and not feel sicj Hope it helps Allison PS see you on the other side soon good luck for monday
