I'm on day one of my pre-op liquid diet and I want to know to know after how many weeks whether if you started way before surgery or after did just liquids alone become easier. Btw I know I can have SF jello in the clear stage after surgery, but in the preop liquid phase do you know if I can have it now, including yogurt. I forgot to ask my surgeon.. Darn!

I'm on day 4 and I've had straight liquids, my Dr says no jello or yogurt until day 21. Although it may be different for some but that's what he suggested.

It will get better after day three..... Each day gets better and better

For pre-op, after the first three days (after all the sugar and carbs had left my system) it got much easier because the cravings were gone. I was allowed one of each per day; sugar free jello, 6 oz low fat, low sugar yogurt or fat free cottage cheese. Those helped with the need to "eat something". I kept reminding myself that this was just a finite period of time before surgery and would help the surgeon do his job successfully without complications. I also needed to keep myself very busy to keep from thinking about food. Post op, it is easier because you are not hungry. However, by week two I was SICK AND TIRED of liquids and wanted texture and flavor. Cream soups helped a little, but I was very happy to move beyond that stage! If I never see chicken broth again, it may be too soon! LOL
