Liquid diet

[taracutch 226]

I kinda did that too thinking it would help for my pre op diet and beyond. I'm on day 4 and I'm not convinced it helped.

I am really struggling tonight... Day 4 if liquid diet and 11 days to go. Really thinking maybe a life without garlic bread isn't really a life at all??? I know this is only 2 weeks out of the rest of my life but dang!

For me at least days 2- 4/5 were the worst. After that it was fairly smooth. Good luck!!

Today is day 4 for me and it's the worst one yet. I'm praying that I get tired soon and can just go to sleep. Luckily there's nothing here so I couldn't cheat if I wanted to.

Hey Teresa, I'm here in Texas as well. I have two more dietician meets and then they schedule me. My dietician did speak about the two week liquid diet but my dr hasnt. Not that I've seen him as much. I'd assume I'd have to as well. I've done a nice day before which was great. It's honestly not to difficult. Keep in your head this is for an amazing cause.

It is so weird w the different preop diets. I'm getting sleeved on the 22nd...it's officially day 3 of 7. Pure awfulness i agree. It's pretty strict not even Protein shakes or Protein Water. I tracked the calories and I took in 177 calories yesterday. Lol I'm salavating over the thought of a Protein shake. But it's only one week I guess. What surprised me is needing to be close to the bathroom. Anyway it'll soon be a memory folks and we'll be on that losers bench!!

Exactly. It's not going to kill me. It's good for me and may even teach me some much needed discipline.

That seems way to low. My Protein Shakes are 120-150 calories each and require 3-5 a day. Even the new Atkins Lift drinks are 100 calories each.
