5 days pre-op/liquid diet!?

hey KY, i hope everyone is doing well! i can't believe i only have 5 days left until surgery! i am on day 3 of pre-op liquids and it is now killing me~! it sucks, i will make it, but i can't lie... it sucks! everytime i get bored, i want to eat, and i can't! i keep going back to the sf fudgesicles, and cottage cheese, then mix it up with some warm soup, broth that is! icky! anyone have any ideas on what to eat or what to do instead of eating?!?! i went to the mall today and decided i should have learned to like to read a long time ago... so maybe i will pick up reading! here's the other thing... i am used to my vices... smoking, quit may 22nd, eating... in the process of getting better, and "not being bad" when i eat! then there's the whole "party" scene... i feel like i have to do something "bad" and i know that may sound bad... i guess i need a hobby! hungry, cranky, bored, but happy! hugs, karly PS. i think i just needed to vent... but i will take anyone's comments! thanks!

af popsicles are the best!!! As far as having something to do instead of eating... that was rough for me for the first 2 weeks after surgery. I attempted to be crafty... making candles, baby blankets and whatever else i could try. I also hop on here and read the message boards. Another thing I got into was making graphics for web pages. Its not hard and once ya get the hang of it... it can be alot of fun. Hope this gives ya a few ideas...I wish you the best of luck with your surgery!

Have you tried any protein shakes yet? I order a sampler basket from www.baraticeating.com & that kept my interested..........for awhile!! It's not an easy time but it's SO worth it. Grab a girlfriend & do a spa thing. If that costs too much go to a local beauty school & you can get pedis, manis, & facials cheap. Hang in there Karly!!

Hey Karly, I only had to do the liquid diet for 2 days (Lucky Me!) But the popsicles were what helped me through. Hope all goes well for you! Take care.
