I feel like a prisoner, marking off each day in a calendar....

I've had to go pee like every 30-45 min, my head hurts, and my stomach never quite stops grumbling.

The nutritionist said I can have as much as I want of any liquid, but I feel like I still need to take the calories into consideration.

How did you all get they this phase?? Tips, please!

If anyone would like to add me on Facebook feel free to do so just send me a message and I'll give you the info! Be nice to keep in touch and see how everyone is doing post op because this app doesn't always work right for me

It is rough, but honestly, probably the hardest part of the whole process for me! Just remember how much it sucks to go through the sugar/carb withdraw so you are not tempted to let them back in later and have to go through that again! Hang in there!

I started my liquid diet the same day as you! My surgeon is super strict with it as well, I can only have the shakes, sf Jello and Popsicles! It sucks!!! It totally "crashed" my immune system too and I had to call in to work yesterday with a flu bug! When is your surgery supposed to be? Mine is scheduled for the 16th!

I start my pre-op liquid diet Monday and I can have 3 shakes and a small meal the first week or 5 shakes and then the second week its 5 shakes up to the day before then its Clear liquids. This is the part of this process that I'm dreading the most.
