Liquid diet today...my orders, not the surgeon's!

Don't forget to give up caffeine if you currently partake. Caffeine withdrawal while recovering from surgery is an unnecessary complication.

Just focus on what you CAN have. I had a 2 week pre surgery liquid diet but on the first week I was allowed up to 4 oz of meat once a day if needed. I only did it 3 times but if it gets too rough in the first few days you might want to try that.

I really didn't mind the liquid diet. I too went a little crazy eating the month before surgery so I was ready for the change.

good for you, the first 3 days are the hardest. i cut caffine cold turkey and had terrible headaches, i added half of a cup of coffee back for a couple days and when i quit again, no headache... also i didn't sleep well the first week, so hungry at bed time. i found a ts of peanut butter and a sip of skim milk helped me alot. now it's all liquids and only clear liquids tomorrow.. surgery monday morning!!
