Hello loves!

I'm having a hard time sticking to this pre-op 2 week liquid diet. 5 shakes a day. Every 3 hours. I started yesterday. My shakes are good. Its all mental. Cravings are kicking my butt bad!

I've read that after the third day your cravings shouldn't be so bad , at least that's what I read.

Yeah the pre-op diet is tough, but I didn't have to do full liquid, so I'm sure yours is probably tougher

I wonder if full liquid diet is based on weight or just surgeons orders for what makes it easier for them? Monday is the big day!

As much as the research that I have pulled together I speculate the liquid diet is based on surgeon and part weight some surgeons want you to go on an all liquid diet to mentally prepare yourself for what's coming ahead, as well as shrinking the liver to make it easier to operate and easier for healing time! Also if you have a lot of weight to lose your doctor may put you on a strict liquid diet for a few weeks longer to lose weight to be able to operate, I have a BMI of 40 and my doctor put me on a two-week liquid only diet surgery date January 25, for the first seven days I had extreme headaches all day and all night long due to sugar withdrawal I did call my dietitian and she told me I can add a small piece of fruit two times a day if needed! Hope this helps and good luck
