Moral Support Needed!

Just needed a bit of moral support. I am 12 days from surgery (Sept 2). Some days I can't belive that it is this close. (I have been at this for over 14 months) and other days I don't think it will ever get here!! I am into day 3 of my two weeks of clear liquids prior to surgery and feeling a little rough. Any suggetions- I am finding that a lot of clear liquids are sweet tasting and I really am getting sick of sweet (really hard to believe from a sugaraholic but it's true). I tried broth but "ugh" I can only do so much of that. Oh well- any words of encourgement would help. Thanks- Chris

I can't offer much for different foods, but I remember it well. I agree. UGH. How about SF popcicles? Jello? Your day will be here before you know it. Hang in there.

Chris, Oh how hard - two weeks of clear liquids must be difficult to do. I only had to do 2 weeks low carb then 24 hours clear liquids. I suggest s/f popsicles, also. Yummy - s/f blue bunny bomb pops are "the bomb"! Hang in there, hon, your day will be here before you know it. Keep reading and posting on here when you feel anxious and know that we are here for you! God bless, Andrea

Chris good luck with your surgery, I'll be saying a prayer for you for a speedy recovery! I think the clear liquids will taste alot better after the surgery, just remember not too much sugar/try to stay away from it! The salty things tasted alot better to me and still do!!! God Bless, Janet Schmidt

Hello Chris you will be in my prayers and thoughts I hope everything will go good for you. take care Laurie

Try using a regular soup and then straining out the noodles. The flavor is a lot better. I used the dry soup mix in a box (Lipton maybe?) cooked it with the noodles and then strained them out. It was actually pretty good. Best of luck to you. It is all worth it in the end. I'm 4 mos out and feeling fantastic. Janie 272/191/140?
