1 wee****il surgery!!!

I just wanted to take a moment and thank everyone here!! you have all been so helpful to me since I've been going through this process!!! I only have 1 week to go before the big day and I just can't believe it!!!!!!! 

This liquid diet is tough, but I want this so bad, that at this point, nothing is going to hold me back! 

Have an awesome week by starting off your monday GREAT!!!

 One week! Good for you!  Is the liquid diet as bad as it sounds? I have do the same thing 2 weeks prior to surgery. I am dreading it, but I am glad to do it. Keep it up! 

Well, this is the 2nd day, and I had a little to eat yesterday. It hasn't been too too bad so far!! I have a lot of support at work and home! 

I have been just having atkins shakes, water and protein shakes so far.  2 days down, 5 to go!! 

The liquid diet isn't that bad.  By the time you have to do it you will have your mind set that nothing will stop you.  The first few days are hard because your body isn't going to be happy with you.  But after a few days you will be ok.  The key is to stay busy and drink things that are filling not jus****er.

you are so right Teena!!! 

Today I have had 1 bottle of water, 1 protein shake, an atkins shake, and I just finished some tomato flourentine soup from the cafe here at work. I needed some warm!! It was just juice with some little spices in it. It did have some shell noodles, like the ones in shells and cheese, but it was seriously like MAYBE 7-10 noodles, so I figured I would go ahead and have them!!! I was eating the soup like I've never had soup before!! LOL 

I think that after today and tomorrow I will good and used to it. Now I know that I need something warm for lunch... some kind of soup or broth!! It just makes my tummy feel nice and full!! also, have a spoon full of soup after finishing some not so great protein help me!!!

Thanks for your support TEENA!!!! :)

 

Just remember because it does or doesn't taste good now doesn't mean it will or won't after surgery.  I still can't drink anything vanilla.  It's just tooooo sweet for me.  I even tried making one of those low sugar pillsbury cakes in vanilla with vanilla icing.  It made me dump yet the chocolate doesn't bother me.   So just put the protein aside and try another kind.  Remember just dont' waste your money on a big container of protein right now.  Just go for the samples or the premixed stuff until you are able to try new things.  I drank the same thing everyday because I knew it wouldnt' make me sick.LOL

Totally!! I haven't put anything totally out just yet. I did try on syntha-6 cookies and cream protein this morning that I really enjoyed. I plan on ordering some more samples tomorrow based on what I liked right now and didn't like. Once I try them after surgery, then I will invest in the bigger bottles!! 

i am sooo very excited for you stac!!!! its all worth it!!!!

cant wait to hear about your journey~

love, stacie marie
