So I am a social work student with a 4.0 and will be going into finals in may. My question is whether or not to do my three week liquid diet during finals or should I wait. I am somewhat afraid I might loose my insurance in June and that is why I have the rush but it is not for sure if I will lose it or not. Was your liquid diet so draining that you couldn't handle something like finals???

It honestly wasn't that draining for me. I did mine around midterms before spring break and I didn't have a problem. I think the worst part was after the surgery honestly. I was rushed as well. My insurance was restarting on March 30, I got my surgery March 27 so it was cutting it close. I didn't really have a choice but I worked out. Just stay hydrated.

Three weeks liquids....wow

Im glad I never had to do that...had preop diet of bars, shakes and small meal, then I recall liquids day before and nothing after midnight day of surgery...

I felt pretty good while I was on liquids...but I wasn't on them for 3 weeks...yikes! I didn't feel week and if anything I felt much better. Most likely because I am type II diabetic and my blood sugar was normal during that time. Good luck on whatever you decide!

I did 3 weeks of liquids, and had no problems energy wise. The hard part for me was being hungry all the time, and I did it while I was on vacation. it was hard - but I'm glad I did it!!
