Iamtiffers

My doctor and dietician said I can't do any other liquids, that it has to be the Optifast from the pharmacy in their building. So I will tough it out. Post Op I am on only sips of water the day of, then the next day water and sips of protein drinks. Then starting the 3rd day to about 2 weeks I have a restricted liquid diet, but can have Carnation Instant Breakfast drinks and pudding. So it could always be worse. I am just thankful to finally be doing this, I have been trying to get this surgery since 2008.

Thank you all for your replies. I will try the supplements. My doctor has me on 6 Optifast 800 shakes a day. sugar free Jello-O, Sugar Free Popsicles and chicken broth. I am having trouble drinking all 6! My dietician asked me to at least get 5 in. They just taste so terrible. I don't like vanilla or strawberry drinks, so I did chocolate. Just sucks. I only like Jello Brand Strawberry, and I don't like broth so we strain and Water down chicken noodle Soup. This afternoon we went out on the lake and so I slammed my crystal light as I watch everyone eat Cookies, chips and drinking cokes. I just thought "Fattys" to all of them! I have only had 3 today, Im trying to get a 4th one in right now. They just taste so bad, I would rather starve. But I know we need the caloric intake so Im trying. But I am about to break down in tears from frustration. Why does my doctor require a 2 week liquid diet and some only 1 week??
