And we're off...clear liquids! Ugh!

Count your blessings. I have 3 weeks!!

Three weeks on clear liquids?!? Or 3 weeks until clear liquids?

I start today my clear liquid, only 2 more days till surgery. Wish me good luck guys.

It's strange how pre-op diets differ so much. I am "very low calorie" for 2 weeks. 2 shakes, 2 ff greek yogurts and 1 small meal per day up until the day of surgery. Maybe they tailor the diet to how much you weigh, or if you have diabetes, or? I just find it interesting.

It just depends on the surgeon.

Yes.... I have been on a liquid diet for two weeks, told I needed to lose more than the 5 pds I have and my Surg was moved from 2/5 to 2/26.....:-( I am already nervous and this dragging on is making the anxiety elevate. Had to get a Xanax script....

I got ativan too. I thought I was going to have to put my dog to sleep on top of all the other stress. I have only used it once.

How are you doing Debbie? Just think... only 5 days... such an exciting time. Concentrate on getting things in order instead of the clear liquid diet. Good luck!!

I just wish I felt better. Its been a rough day, not just craving, but headache. That's been the worst. I'm hoping it improves tomorrow.

3 weeks on liquids. 2 protein shakes a day and 3rd meal of 1 cup of any non-cream based soup. I can have sf Popsicles and 1snack a day of either Greek yogurt or 1cup cottage cheese. Sf drinks, decaf coffee or tea and vegetable juice (no fruit juice). That's it.

Do you at least get Protein shakes with the Clear Liquids or are you strictly clear???? My headache improved on day 3 a tad and was much better on day 6......good luck!!!! It sucks but it does get some better.

I can have 3 shakes daily with Water. I will say the unjury chicken soup flavor with warm broth is the most satisfying drink so far.

The headache gave up long enough for me to sleep last night. I woke up though in horrible pain and vomiting. I drank more fluids and used ice packs on my head. I still have migraine residue, as I call that feeling of relief from the headache but like it still could come back. Strange no hunger pains at the moment. Cravings seem gone too.

I was wondering why the clear liquid diet I was on after my c section was so much easier, and my friend pointed out I was hopped up on Percocet. I'd love me some Percocet right about now.

It just depends on the surgeon.

My pre-op prep is 3 days of clear liquids. I'm amazed at how much prep varies from dr to dr!

The day before surgery I'm only supposed to eat light foods after 12pm, and just clear liquids I think after 5.
