I start my liquid diet on the 12th of this month. Have question if your on All clear liquids diet for 1 week, what do you do if your sugar drops since your not eating food. Is that when the 5 protein drinks they have me drinking a day come in and help?

That's what I'm nervous about too ! Would love to hear from everyone.

Unless your a diabetic there shouldn't be a problem as long as you do everything the Doc. and Nutritionist says. I was worried about the same thing, but the nut (nutritionist) was just concerned if I was diabetic. I had no problems at all on my liquid diet. If your really concerned call your nut and ask them what you do if that happens

Not gonna lie, first three days are pretty bad as far as physical hunger goes but no sugar drops occurred. Can you start on the weekend instead? If you work it may be hard.i would rather do a few extra days of all liquid and start on the weekend than have to do it at work. But that's just me. The work can also be a distraction.

You are about to be amazed at how little food your body really needs to survive.

Thanks everyone. MiniMi my surgery is the 19 of this month and I have to be on a 7 day liquid diet. And I start vacation for a month on the 12 so I don't have work to worry about. I have been freaking out over this whole liquid diet thing I'm so ready for the surgery. Thanks for the imput now to stop stressing over this whole diet thing lol

Oh good at least you can be miserable at home. Good news is that it lasts for only 7 days. Oh and if you have the mind set That it is a medical necessity for you to be a liquid diet it'll make it go by quicker. It's not just a diet it's the difference between having Laparoscopic or open surgery.

that's what helped me... knowing it was for my liver and the surgery, not for weight loss. I had 3 weeks liquid pre op..

I think it helps when you have to do the liquid phase after too. im one week post op and the liquid is not so bad right now..
