Well, tomorrow's the day. Can't wait. I have to say that I do not know how people do one or more weeks of the liquid diet. I only had three days, today being the 3rd and I am sooo HUNGRY!  But it will soon be over and on the way to the new me.

How exciting and congratulations on starting a NEW LIFE.
I am one of the ones that will have to do the liquid diet for 2 weeks :-(

What all did you eat (ooops I mean drink) during your 3 days?

Hi LaToya,
  I drank koolaid, jello, low sodium broth, sugar free popsycles and lots of water.
  When is your surgery? Hopefully they'll let you have stuff that is a little more substancial since you will be on it for 2 weeks. Good luck!

I bet you are so excited! I could hardly sleep! Anyway go into the OR chanting will walk, I will get up and walk. Wake up in the recovery room and ask how long until I can walk!!

It's made all the difference in this surgery compared to the others. I would lay in bed and mainline as much painkillers as I could. I'd deal with the gas issue later. Not with this surgery I had been warned. My surgeon repaired a whopper of a hernia which is why I'm still feeling punky but I'm still dragging my butt out and walking.

Have a great day tomorrow and remember it'll pass :)

my operation was the 26 of sept and went well. 1st 24 nothing but IV's then next morning  was I  given  only one meal of stage 1 then later that day surgon put me right into stage 2 it went great...do not worry about getting hungry, it was hard enough to eat only 1/4 cup of soup and jello and cottage cheese deluted apple juice and took 2 hours. I walked every 3 to 4 hours for 15 min or more and only use morphine to get grogie enough to sleep! today its the 28th and I passed gas when I woke (lol) so I guess everythings is working now!
