Liquid diet day one pre op

[navywife1978 19]

I'm very nervous and questioning rather or not I can do this. After tonight I am on liquids only for the next four weeks. Right now it seems impossible to me, but I have no choice. How am I going to get through. ????

WOW....4 weeks! I had to do 2 weeks and I am not going to lie, it sucked. The hardest part of the journey in my opinion. Looking back now, I still can't believe I did it, but I did and I lost 10 pounds in 14 days.

The first 3-5 days are the hardest and then after you detox off of sugar and carbs it gets easier. I drank a lot of Vitamin Water Zero to keep me going and the electrolytes and Vitamins helped the fatigue and headaches. Piping hot chicken broth sipped out of a mug was somewhat satisfying when I got tired of the sweet sugar free dinks.

YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Well, two for pre op and at least two after.... I'm just freakish out a bit I think . food is all I've ever done .. What do I do now. I'll get through, but it will be difficult. Thanks for the post!

Oooooh, totally different post op, for me anyway. I had no real hunger or desire to eat for at least a week post op. Getting your Water in will be your top priority and with the tiny sips you are going to be taking, you will be sipping all day long.

sugar free ice pops and italian ice were both great post op because you sort of chewed something.

Good luck....before you know it, it will be a memory.

I'm on liquid day 3 pre-op. Day 1 was hard. I took lots of tylonal and ate lots of Jello. It's my 5 calorie wonder food. Keep it up it gets easier
