Complain on... let it out...

We are all here for each other..

In my case, I was told that my liquid diet is set to be three weeks, as I am having two hernia repairs, and room is needed in there for all of this.. Not cool...

It gets easier with time.

I'm just finishing day 2. I don't mind the shakes but I've had a headache since mid-day yesterday, sometimes dull, sometimes stabbing and I'm ready to get rid of that. I've also never really noticed just how many food commercials there are! Things I don't even like are sounding good.

5 days post op and totally tired of the liquid diet, but I found something tonight that may save me, lol. 8 oz decaf coffee, 1 scoop chocolate protein powder, and some ice! Tastes just like an iced mocha. Sooooo happy to have had something with a different flavor!!! Can't tell you how excited I am to have some cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, and cream of wheat in a week

<p>I know this is a little gross....TMI, but I need to know...Is anyone else constipated from the Pre-op liquid diet? I've been doing 2 protein shakes a day and a small dinner (4oz. lean meat and greens), and I cannot use the restroom. It is killing me! Do you think I could take anything to make me go?</p>

Yes constipated for sure .. My doctor suggest some Metamucil .. It helps and drink lots of water ...but. It's normal

Day one for me tomorrow... well today (it's past 12 in NY) I cannot stop crying with this anxiety, had a mini anxiety attack that triggered my asthma. I have my day planned out on my fitness pal... Now it's a matter of sticking to it.. Lord have mercy.....

<p>Day Two, Noon: Sister made pizza. Left half out on the counter. (I will not lick the pizza. I will not lick the pizza.)</p>

That is too funny - I have been there

I start tomorrow. I am using shakeology shakes, unjury unflavored powder, cream of chicken soup, decaf coffee, and broth and yogurt during my liquid fast. I can also have sugar free popcicles and sugar fee pudding and jello. I hope I'm ready. I did a 21 day Daniel fast prior to this so I have been cleansed out in a sense. Prayer will definitely be required to get me through, especially with 6 kids ( includes two sets of twins) at home.

With six kids you need lots of prayer regardless of liquid dieting. The first few days are the hardest. You can do it!

Hate to say but I had stomach issues the entire two weeks.

My surgery is also on the 19th.....I am also having bathroom issues...diarrhea. Started about five days into pre-op. It is bad too....I was shopping and did not make it too the bathroom. It is getting better today. So if I go out, I take a big purse with a change of clothing..not sure if this is normal. My labs are tomorrow and I meet with my surgeon so will ask about it. Hang in there..it will be worth it in the end!!!

First day of Week Two.

I'm drinking GNC Lean shakes (Swiss Chocolate). They're not bad.

Also chicken broth with Thai peanut dipping sauce (1 tsp) -- umm umm good!

Only bad day I had was Day Two -- headache and flu'ish feelings.

Otherwise, it's been pretty easy (knock on wood).
