Are you on your 3 day pre-op fast? how's it going? I found it quite tough as my stomach really wanted food but the greek yogurt really was filling..

I am I started on Mon with only Protein shakes but had three dill pickles on Thurs for supper and the shake and on Wed I had a cup of broth with the shake.
You are right the greek yogurt is filling.  Did you put sweetner in it?  I am putting sweetner and mio I wonder if that is ok.  Plus I am still drinking diet pepsi I think I have give that up to but not sure since it has nothing in it.  I will have to go cold turkey once the surgery is done. :-) 

I didn't put sweetner in it, I bought the vanilla..and it didnt make a difference for my surgery. And yup, you should quit the diet pepsi now,,or wean off as it might be easier. I did that with caffeine to avoid a blistering headache after. Its been three weeks since Ive had caffeine and I don't think Ill go back. I know its only supposed to be yogurt and water but I did have broth the day of my flight as I really needed something in my stomach that felt soothing for the plane ride. it all worked out in the end so I think you are on the right track!

 I Did the plain Greek Yogurt, flavoured with Mio, that made it really good.  Wean yourself off the Diet Pepsi, you'll have Caffiene withdrawl, and that's terrible! I was sick the day of my surgery, and I am going to chalk that up to caffeine withdrawl from not stopping coffee. I had a migraine on the plane, and started throwing up...

oh crap justme - that must have been horrible.  I will do as you guys advise and quit the D Pepsi I am such and addict to it.  Yikes!  Are either of you making to the M & G?

Yeah,get off the pepsi. I am not even a caffeine addict and I had a headache for 3 days, I guess from just not getting enough in. And there is no way they are going to give you pepsi, too much acid..you will burp just having a sip of water. I am on day 5 post op surgery today. Only managed to get in 30 ounces yesterday. I have a tendency to drink too fast.....NOT GOOD! Remember that..you really do have to sip, like a eye drop at a time, or it hurts. Good luck. Barb C

 Barb, 
The sipping gets better overnight at about day 8-10 (my experience) you will e able to take bigger sips soon. It's gets better everyday.  I am now able to drink a bottle 500ml in about 45 min - an hour  So that really helps getting the water intake up.
