2 week clear liquid diet

[Peggy D 123]

Thanks for the warning, I'll be sure to lock myself in a room away from people on day 3, lol. Have you lost a lot on it? I'm thinking its got to be some significant pounds with so few calories

I have lost 14.4 pounds since I started this 2-week pre-op diet on August 8. And I had lost 10.7 pounds when I did a one-week trial of the Clear Liquids back in June. Overall, since I saw my surgeon for my initial consultation on April 25 & started the high Protein, low carb diet the same day, I've lost a total of 42.7 pounds. I look at it as a head start on my post-surgery weight loss.

My surgeon is very strict on the diets. Post-op I'll be on clear liquids only, no Protein shakes for a week then the clears & Protein like the 2-week pre-op for 3 more weeks. On week 5 I start pureed foods for 2 weeks, then soft foods for 2 more weeks. Finally, on post-op week 9 & beyond, I introduce regular, solid foods. But this process since April has showed me that I can do it.

I see a lot of people doing this 2 wk clear liquid diet. I am going thru Kaiser and havent been told I need to do this. Anyone else going thru Kaiser? Were you told you needed to do this?

I am going through Kaiser and told only one day of liquid diet. The day before surgery.

OMG today is day 2 and I've spent most of it in the bathroom! Sorry for the TMI. Has anyone experienced this? Is it going to last for the entire 2 week liquid diet? Oh I hope not, I'm sitting at my desk at work and you can hear my tummy rumbling. Ugh

Yesterday I was really hungry in the late afternoon so I had more Jello, some homemade chicken broth & still more sugar-free drink mix. Today is day 14 & I'm not hungry. I'm too busy getting last minute stuff done for surgery tomorrow. I check in at 5 am & it's an hour drive to the hospital, so I'll be going to bed early &, hopefully, to sleep early.

I'm having such a tough time, I cheated yesterday. I had 2 slices of low odium deli turkey. I spent all day at the hospital doing preop testing and the class and when I got home I was so dizzy and weak I thought I was going to pass out. I figured the 2 slices of turkey were better then the alternative of ending up on the floor. Hopefully today I do better. Oh and yeah I'm a nasty b*tch right now too, everyone in the house is kind of just ignoring me! 11 full days left....

Mine is identical. I am on day 2 and struggling!

Today is day 4 for me and my stomach is not handling this well. I'm definitely less hungry today but shakes and all this artificial sweetener is not agreeing with me.

[srussi 5]

My surgery is scheduled for Sept 4 at SSM DePaul Hospital in St Louis. Dr Morales requires a liquid diet for 2 weeks prior to surgery. I negotiated down to 10 days and today is day 1. Not too bad today - the only downside I can see right now is having to haul all this liquid to work. It'll all work out.

@ Jamie

I am the 27th as well and have been really good and only lost 5lbs. Can't figure it out, but I have been driving myself crazy!
