Day 2 pre op I am starving! Only shakes for 14 days. Is this normal?

I wonder if we have the same surgeon. Mine deal is shakes and liquids only with the exception of sf jello and sf popsicles, oh and broth if I'm gonna die. I'm on day 19 of this liquid diet and surgery is Thursday. Hang in there.

Lionbird,

I am having surgery in NC

Day 4... I am still struggling....

Day 4... I am still struggling....

me helping you:

I would be a mess if I woke up and the doctor didn't do the surgery. I am going to call tomorrow and ask about the Protein. I understand not having sugar and carbs but the nurse also told me you won't be hungry!! What a joke. This is hell and I consider myself very strong willed. I have lost 6lbs since I started the shakes Friday morning. I understand shrinking the liver is important but I still feel 14 days with nothing but shakes is unrealistic.....

that is the exact reason i did not cheat.

i can honestly say that and its not said with arrogance

it was done solely so i did not wake up and dr said, guess what.

it made me try harder.

me helping you:

That is amazing!!!

I too, am on the liquid only diet. Day 3 for me. We can support each other.

Mine surgery will be at True Results in San Antonio. Where is yours?

Now I'm a bit scared, I do not want to wake up on my surgery and find out that nothing happened because I cheated one day!!! But the patient advocate told me that I can cheat one day since it was my birthday. I ate at IHOP a 330 calorie omelette, side order of hashbrowns and 2 cups of coffee w/splenda and for dinner 2 hotwings and alot of veggies with regular ranch, 2 beers, 2 shots, 1 mix drink....didn't get to eat much because I got busy with my guest. HELP!! What should I do to make up for this day. More water? more protein uugghhh!!! my surgery is this coming thursday.

you dont worry about what you did (as its over now)

and most likely all is well......just no more cheating.....pinky swear

Can the doctor tell if you cheated?

My Doctor did not require the 2 week pre-op diet.

Seems extreme to me.

Just seeing how its going for you? I'm on day 13, one day of liquids to go! I tried counting down to make it seem better, before I knew it, one day left before my op. exciting and scary at the same time

Too late to wish mine didn't huh... Lol

I'm sure one day out of 14 will not have done anything...you're okay. No worries...I think u did great for your birthday!

This is extreme day 5 and this by far is the hardest thing I have ever done!
