Pre-op Liquid Diet ideas?

I got my surgery date ~ Jan. 6, 2009 !!! I am having a little trouble consuming all that's required for the pre-op liquid diet though ~ & also had a bit of Montezuma's revenge too if you know what I mean. Is this normal ? Any help would be welcome ~ Thanks! Billie

Billie, congratulations on your date. Wow that is a week from tomorrow.  I think I found out on a Friday that my date was a go for the next Monday.  I liked that short notice---just get ready and go---no time for second thoughts.  I really had no second thoughts and have never regretted my decision.  My life is so much more productive and I am very happy with my results.  Soon you will be too.  I cannot tell you much about the liquid diet as my surgeon did not require it but I know a lot of people who do it longer than a week.  Hang in there.  Julia

Thanks ! My Dr. started me on the pre-op diet on 12/23/08 ~ they allowed me to have a normal Christmas Eve dinner with my family though - I'm glad to hear that it's normal for my issues. I'm not too nervous about the surgery yet ~ more excited than anything else! It's harder than I thought it would be ~ not being able to actually chew anything ~ but I'm getting used to it.

You are normal.  Liquid in, liquid out.  No way to make it better.  Good luck on your surgery.

Nice to hear ~ I'm making an effort  to get all liquid in that the Nutritionist is requiring~ I am really looking forward to my surgery ~ Thanks for your help!
