Topic: RE: Pre-Op Liquid diet suggestions
Hello there,
I popped over to your board from the January 2007 board an I have a few suggestions for you I only had to be an a liquid diet the day before my surgery and two weeks after my surgery. The best suggestion is broth but it gets boring especially after you have it for breakfast lunch and dinner. I was told by my doctor that I could have other soups as long as I strained out the solid and only had the juice. that worked fine for me. Progresso chicken noodle is great. I basically lived off of Sugar Free popsicles. Ice tea, and coffee.
Good luck to you all with your up ******* dates.
Warmly,
Alice

Topic: RE: Tuesday is the big day!
Hi Kim all I can say is what is working for me I keep posting my feelings and talking it seems to ease but what really is working is that I 'm starting to look at how healthy I wil be after and remember if you need to it's ok to take deep breaths and please pray all the way threw and GOD has it anyway. I've back out on having this surgery twice and this is the third time and this is my turn I will not allow the negative thoughts stop me and remember that's all they are thoughts I pray that you can start to see the positive Blessings that GOD has in store for you Praying for you.
Peace and Blessings
The Angels are with you alway's. And here are some of mine I'll share with you.

Topic: RE: anyone having issues with protien post op????
Hi Kevin,
I'm 6 days post-op, and I want to let you know that you're not alone! I'm able to keep the protein down, but it's a battle. I can't get over how full it makes me! One ounce of water, broth, jello, or crystal light go down really easy, even two ounces sometimes. But one ounce of protein makes me feel like my pouch is going to burst because it's so full. I find it is a constant struggle to get enough in. Yesterday was the first day I made my protein goal. I drink ready-made Isopure drinks, but find the best option is the bullets. The 25 or 27 gram ones go down the easiest, and I just have one ouce every hour. You can try dilluting them if you have to.
Are you able to keep other liquids down? Such as water or broth? If you're still not able to keep anything down, you should definitely call your Dr.
Hope things start looking up soon!

Hey all! I start my pre-op liquid diet today. I read this weekend that soups qualify. Is that any soups? Please provide suggestions. I have EAS protein drinks, the Bullet, Isopure and Nectar. This will be a long week as you all have experienced. If you can think of anything I may add, please let me know. I am sooooooo excited. Monday is my surgery day...... a new life. Keep me in your prayers, I appreciate all your input/advice. From when I stand, you all that are now post-op are the experts! Blessings, Angel
