Topic: RE: November 4th and pre-op diet
Today is my first day of the pre-op diet. I have just over three weeks of liquid only - essentially 4 protein shakes per day. I can also have water, black coffee/tea and can add artificial sweetner, broth, calorie free beverages, sugar free jello, sugar free popcicles.
I'm sure this will get boring really fast - and will be pretty tough the first few days.
Good luck!

Topic: November 4th and pre-op diet
And another newbie appears! 
I have been lurking on these boards for a couple of months and finally decided to get an "account." My surgery date is November 4th and I started the pre-op diet yesterday, two weeks before surgery.
This is what I eat:
1 protein shake for b-fast
1 protein shake for lunch
1 oz of lean protein (chicken, fish etc)
1 oz of veggies
64 oz of water - or more. Drink water if you feel hungry.
It's boring already.
What are the rest of you eating at this time?

Congratulations Autumn, it will be here before you know it. It's good that you are not nervous. I must admit to be a little apprehensive, but also very excited like you. Best of luck with the surgery and beyond.

I gotta tell you guys, this diet isn't easy. Surprisingly, it's not because of hunger, it's because it's making me feel really sick!
The first day I was fine until evening, then the lightheaded, disconnected feeling started. Getting to sleep was difficult. Today, I am very nauseated, have a mild headache and diarreah. But I've heard that it is better in a few days...hopefully.

Before surgery I'm only to do the clear liquids 24 hours before. Right now is the diet they call "Liver Reduction Diet". Did great the first month I was on it... not the best the past 5 months... Gonna have to in less than two weeks! Little stomach won't give me much choice!
