And the frosting on the cake is three days of this liquid hell and my blood pressure meds start working to good! Lord help me my blood pressure dropped big time! Called doc praying he was going to say "Amy, what you need is a turkey sandwich and some Doritos! sTAT!" Instead he said stop taking them, if it gets to low go to the ER.... Dang it! Was really hoping for that sandwich! I have lost 7lbs in three days tho! Silver lining!

You will see great results from adhering to the liquid diet as you are starting to see these first 7 days.

You'll find your stride in it and be a trooper.

Most all of us have been through it and fully understand where you are.

It gets much easier !!!!

Hardest thing I have ever done! It'll be over before you know it!

[Nurse_Lenora 903]

I have been doing it since January 1st.

Go to the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury site and find their high Protein jell-o recipe. It's great!

Also drink broth if needed...great for savory flavor and only about 15 calories per 8oz

Good luck! You can do this its all mind over matter

[Ladybrinkman 30]

I'm doing better everyday! Boy! Good test on if you want this or not!

[Nurse_Lenora 903]

Very true! But it does get easier

My surgeon doesn't have me on a liquid diet pre-op except for the day before surgery. Is that unusual? I feel like it is based on what I've been seeing on this forum. Not that I'm complaining! I'm going under next Thursday the 28th and happy to NOT be on liquids before I absolutely HAVE to.
