Thanks for all of your replies and suggestions!! It's so cool to know I will be joining you all in about 9 days. The first couple of days of my pre-op liquid diet were absolute torture. I felt like I was going to eat my CO-WORKERS. It's been 4 days now and today was the first day I felt like I would make it. I almost stole one of my son's nachos but "got it together". Whenever I am struggling I get on this site. I can't tell you how much I appreciate all the advice and support.

Welcome to the forum. I didn't have to do that preop diet, thank god. It will get better. Your surgery will be here before you know it.

You have found a wonderful place to ask questions, share fears and explore feelings. Someone will have experienced whatever you may be questioning and can give you some perspective. Like the liquid diet. It is survivable, maybe not pleasant, but you CAN get through it. I only had to do a 2 day liquids only. But those that did what you are going through have great advice.

Take it a day at a time, or even a meal at a time. Make a cross-off sheet with all the meals from now until the big day. Cross off each meal as you successfully complete it. You will be one step closer and one less liquid meal to dink! Maybe not, but it might work?!

Stay positive, it will be here before you know it. Congratulations on having your date! We are waiting for you on the loser's bench!
