Day 5 of Pre-OP Liquid Diet

It's been 5 days of this liquid diet and I have already lost 6 pounds!!! I'm pretty happy about that. Since I'm so short (almost 5'2'') I can't really see it; but I can definitely feel it! People who are vertically challenged, such as myself, don't usually start seeing a difference until 20-30 pounds lost, lol. XD

This diet has actually been pretty easy. I don't know if it's because I've dieted before, and that I knew what to expect; or if maybe I just got lucky. I really expected to feel miserable since I've seen so many people struggle with it. The only thing I can complain about is the amount of times I've peed. Last night, between 12 am - 5 am, I counted 19 times that I got up to pee. It's driving me crazy. @_@

You go girl!! I'm just ending my pre-op diet. I'm a shorty too! I noticed I am breathing better since I've lost 15lbs since I started with the POD. My doctor allowed me to have one small meal a day with two shakes so I didn't feel to bad. AND yes, the whole peeing every 30 mins is annoying! But as everyone else has said on here it's all means to an end. I'm really happy for you and I hope all goes well. Keep us posted!

That's awesome! Congrats on losing 15 pounds! :D Haha, glad I'm not the only one who lives in the bathroom. XD I will definitely keep you all posted! Is your surgery today? :o

@@Hiraeth That's alot of peeing! Just think of the fluids and toxins being flushed out of your system!! Great job!

Haha, I know right! My pee is now constantly clear. It's like I'm peeing Water. XD

@@Hiraeth, My surgery is tomorrow. I am sooooo nervous, and excited, tired and hungry! I have a lot of family praying for me and my awesome hubby will be with me tomorrow so that helps a lot. When is your surgery?
