Liquid Diet + Upcoming Family Reunion = Pressure

By missymobaby

· 708 views

So I get banded on Aug. 23 :) and my dr. doesn't require a pre-op liquid diet but I'm doing it anyway just to ensure liver reduction and less complications there. My problem is that my family reunion is on Aug. 19, right in the midst of my liquid diet :angry: I LOVE eating at the reunion all the good food my family members bring.

I plan on taking a couple protein shakes with me (Unjury all the way) but don't know what else I should take to ensure that I stay focused being around all that food.

Is unsweetened apple sauce ok?

Any suggestions would be helpful. It's outside so I don't have access to a microwave for broth and it will be hot out.

 

Please help becuse I feel I will cave around all that food and I don't want to.

    Make several shakes freeze them and take them in a thermal lunch box!

    Enjoy your family and avoid the food tables.

    Best of luck!

    Good planning but also, if your dr doesn't require a pre-op plan, you will probably be fine to eat a little at the reunion. Just make the best choices you can and keep your portions small.

    yeah, I'm planning on taking a couple shakes and lots of water (w/ Crystal Light). Would watermelon be ok on the liquid diet? Regardless of the reunion, I still want options. I mean, watermelon does have the word "WATER" in it right! LOL

    I'll do broths at home and shakes and sf popsicles and sf jello but I know I will just want to sink my teeth into something.

    Everyone's version of their pre-op diet is different, some got to eat lean meats and veggies and others are strictly liquids. Since my dr. doesn't require this pre-op I don't know which is best and what do to. I just want to ensure less complications at surgery.
