Hi,

I'm new to this site so I'm still trying to feel my way around on here! Anyway, I start my liquid pre op diet tomorrow and really wondering just how I'm going to make it through..... I mean, how hard is it and is there ANY thing to help "spice" it up somehow if that's possible! Lol

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

My surgery is Thursday and the liquid diet has been challenging. My nutritionist allows soups and that's been what saved it from being impossible. I've had shakes for breakfast, a soup for lunch and dinner and another shake in the late afternoon. I've been hungry some and we had an annual quilt retreat this last weekend which made it really difficult. I'm glad it was only 2 weeks.

I started freaking out I was never going to be able to eat lettuce, so I was a smart cheater, and ate salads with fat free or low carb dressing. My doc said my liver looked perfect, and thus far, recovery has been easy, just sore. I was sleeved on May 15. I also lost 9 lbs. during pre-op.

I too start mine tomorrow and im scared im gonna fail!

You will be fine ... I had a severe headache the first day but it got easier

Just tough it out.. I don't know what your Doc allows.. each is different. Mine allowed a Protein and veggie dinner yogurt for snacking, and shakes for Breakfast and lunch..

After surgery the liquid diet I was dieing for something savory. I would do a glass of V8 with horse radish, or a splash of Worcestershire sauce.. It gave me the spicy I was looking for with a veggie taste to it.

Thank all of u for ur replays! I appreciate all the advice and good tips! Ill most def have to give it a try! I hope I don't fail too!!!! Mind over matter....,,
