Start my liquid diet tomorrow! I am so nervous! Any tips on how to survive this? I can have 2-3serbings of veggies or fruit so hopefully it won't be that bad!?

I find out tomorrow if I have to start any special diets with surgery coming 6/6. I've already been substituting 1 meal a day with a protein shake and I've found that using Capella flavorings has helped change up the shakes a bit and makes them more exciting. Being able to have fruits and veggies will be good to help change it up too.

As long as you can eat you should be fine. Straight liquid is the worst.

Liquid is challenging........find soups that you like. Cream of mushroom, egg drop, Trader Joes has a nice instant miso soup that I love. Refried beans are the bomb....water them down with broth. Switch up the shakes and soups, so that you can get sweet and savory. I'm almost done, surgery on Thursday, and although I'm doing fine, I'd just like to have a nice sammich or something lol.

Good luck tomorrow!

Drink lots of Water whenever you feel hungry!

I have one week down one to go. Its dose get easier the more days u have. Or u just learn to deal with it. This weekend i am going camping with the family we will see how this goes. I think the hardest is going to the store buying food. Lol at least hubby dose all the cooking when we go camping.

Good luck camping! Good for you I have been a hermit since I started the liquid diet. Walking into pre op testing now! Can't wait for 6/4 !

Can't wait for tomorrow at least then i can go for a walk instead of sitting with the family at the dinner table watching everyone eat...... as a family we have always sat down and ate so camping gives me an excuse not to.

Family dinners around the table are a wonderful thing but perhaps everyone would understand if you took a *temporary* sabbatical? Anything that makes it easier for you to stay on track is a good thing. You'll be back at the table with everyone enjoying the new you before you know it!!

Probably would be easier but wouldn't want to see the mess that my twins would leave if daddy was in charge of the table

Mom's not here - FOOD FIGHT!! LOL!

Well that what i picture my husband, my 12 year old daughter and 5 year old twins and the dog, cat, and the ferret running around the dinning room and food all over the place. Maybe i should make them eat outside...... lol
