I'm very fortunate to only have to do a 24 hour liquid diet in advance of the surgery. I plan to have protein shakes for breakfast and lunch with water or Crystal Light in between and nothing bu****er after 4pm (my own decision, not doctor's). I want everything nice and clean when he goes in!

I'm allowed to have some watery cream of wheat or strained soup, so I've tried 1/4 cup of each of those things. I actually had grits, not cream of wheat. And that helps. But I'm kind of having trouble getting in all the protein drinks, so I'm not bored yet. Just excited when I can get in 7 8-oz cups of fluid a day. On Monday I start the blended diet where I can start having things like pureed meat and fruit. That'll be interesting.

Oh one thing that is really easy to eat is pudding. I've had a pudding cup a couple of times now and it's really tasty and doesn't cause me any problems.

6 days still? I only have 2 days left and I am dying on mine. I am so unbelievably sick of it. I can not wait to move on to mushies, I might move a day sooner. I dont want to eat but when I do I would like for it not to be another soup LOL.

There were really not many options. I just drank the protein shakes and stuck it out.

I finally started purees this week and omg it's sooo much better. I even had some mashed potatoes and gravy yesterday and I swear it sat in my stomach better than anything I have eaten (or drank) so far. It was wonderful!! You will get there soon!

 Thanks guys! I'm being tough i think lol I've strained ministroni soup and it was really good!!! I'm also doing jello so I should be able to stick out these last 4 days! I can't wait to taste pureed chilli haha never though I'd say that! But I'm kinda nervous going in to this new stage because they say its when you start learning your limit and what your pouch will hold. That will be interesting!

The pureed chili is good. I added a bunch of greek yogurt to it and milk to thin it out some. I know my limit when I get super gassy and slightly uncomfortable. It doesn't take much!
