Liquid diet

I'm officially starting my liquid diet tomorrow on the 1st, my surgery is Nov 18! I am just absolutely terrified that I will not be able to stick with it though. I have started a little early with liquid for breakfast and lunch and then having a small dinner. Any suggestions on how to better myself on sticking with it?

My surgeon said to do 3 protein shakes a day, 1 for breakfast lunch and dinner and then a yogurt after breakfast for a snack and a broth after lunch.

What have your surgeons suggested for the liquid diet? I feel like mine is veeerrryy limited and I've heard that other surgeons will allow some other things.

All comments and suggestions are extremely appreciated! ????

    Do you get a small healthy meal once a day? Perhaps I misunderstood my nut.

    No I don't. I've noticed that some surgeons say different when it comes to the pre op diet. Some will let you have a small healthy meal and some say to follow only liquids strictly. I'm not sure why but I guess its best to just stick with what your surgeon or nurses say, they're the experts haha
