@katieboo That made me laugh!! Well I guess I'm glad I dont have to do liquid cat litter! And I'm the farting queen! Fart on..glad they don't stink at this point ha.

This may sounds yucky... but anyone else on liquids only and very gassy? Oh boy I sound like all the boys in my house. My belly is constantly rumbling.

I'm same as you...day 4 but I am on liquids only..I am ready for V day (:

That's what my Dr gave me..my only other option is carnation breakfast-no sugar added with 2% milk. I'm going to try carnations for a few days and see if that helps. Wish I could do something else lol

I ordered the last of my vitamins (calcium citrate w vit d chews-caramel...they taste like candy) and ordered some unjury chicken broth and cheese sauce. I am now set and ready (: Lets get this show in the roadm * today is day 2 liquid diet....easier than yesterday and even watched husband and son eat PIZZA! Hoping it just gets even easier...come on V day!

I too am VD!!

Well I made it through day one!!!! Not too bad , I did ignore all the food that my co-workers ordered I stayed off Pinterest! We will see how the weekend goes as I am off the whole time.

Well I'm nearing my 1st day of liquids...I'm starving! ( doesn't help I'm up for over 24hrs). But I haven't ripped anyones face off so I say it is a successful day lets see what the next few days bring.

Well its basically to protect your time off. They have to hold your position for 12 weeks per year. It is a good thing to do. Make sure they do not want your DR to fill out anything to avoid delay.

I have 2 options. Mine are full liquids for 2 weeks. 1st option:: 3 reg slim fast 2 low carb slimfast 8oz fruit juice 2nd option: 5 cups 2 % milk with 5 packages carnation instant breakfast 16 oz fruit juice **can alternate diets but have to stick with ome for that day** Can also have daily and unlimited with either diet: Water Crystal light Powerade zero Fruit h2o sugar free Jello (home made only) A few s/f popsicles And 2c of broth I started this today and they must of come a long way with the slim fast..its much better than I rememeber. But I will alternate hoping to not get sick of one or the other

Hi!!! I am having surgery Feb 14th (its also my husbands birthday) in Madison, Wi. I started liquid diet today amd advised EVERYONE in my house to lay low for at least 4 days. Hope I don't get out of control lol

I had to. My work requires the Dr to fill out a portion too. And I had to give it back to my employer 30 days in advance.

Good luck! Hope everything comes out ok (no pun intended). Wishing you a speedy recovery

I am starting to get so nervous!!!!! I'm going to Dr tomorrow (5 appointments) amd getting last class...blood work...xrays...anesthesia you name it done (I live over an hour away from Dr so we bunch everything together). Then liquid diet starts Thurs. I can't believe its getting so close to the 14th! I'm nervous about the medicine issue as well. Tylenol and its other products don't do a darn thing to help me. I am an advil taker for all pain (narcotics do not help at all either..advil works better)and I know your not allowed advil after surgery or close to surgery I'm sure. So lots of worry, scared, excitement and nervous to say a few! :biting nails:

I've never tried that. ..I guess I'm sticking with what I know I like (: the double stuffed cookie, Caribbean cooler, vanilla bean torte are my personal favorites from Syntrax nectar. I mix them with Water only. I don't like milkyness when mixed with milk. I am so not looking forward to 14 days liquid only. I'm going to be a bear. Surgery Feb 14th.

Try googling sample protein packs. I started with syntrax nectar and syntrax nectar sweet samples. I found several I like and use. I am preop. Start my liquid diet on thursday

Oh I dont think I would be able to do it that long!! So I am grateful its 2 weeks lol

I start my pre op diet on Wed...I only get liquids. 5 shakes a day with all the water you want(yipee), a few s/f popsicles and up to 5 oz of broth a day for 2 WEEKS ...
