Liquid Diet Pre And Post Surgery

Okay so I am at the point where I have had my consult and am approved through insurance. My surgeon didn't go over the liquid diet with me. Can you all please elaborate on what is entailed? No food at all? Just protein shakes? I can imagine that I would lose a ton of weight just from this liquid diet. Please explain. I'm starting to get anxious about this liquid diet. Would if I cheat?

Had my surgery yesterday, feeling sore but all in all doing okay. Right this second I'm tired and ready for a nap. My doctor said my surgery went really well and he could tell I stuck to the diet, I'm pretty proud of myself. This morning I was able to have scrambled eggs which normally I don't care for but they were awsome.

Linda...SO AWESOME! That you were able to eat eggs gives me such hope!! LOL

Seriously, so happy you came through all right and are feeling pretty good! We'll be anxious to hear how things progress in the days head! Get some rest!!
