Liquid diet

Day 3 of preop liquid diet.....this is hard! My doctor allows no food.....3 shakes a day and I can have broth, sugar free Jello and popsicles, oand other no calorie sugar free noncarbonated drinks. Any pointers or helpful suggestions.....'cause right about now I would kill for wine and cheeseburgers!

      My surgery is on the 23rd and I started my preop diet on the 4th, so I've been doing this for a week. My best advice is to stay busy! When you want to eat, go for a walk, drink some water or brush

      You pretty much have to just suffer through it. This is the hardest part in my opinion because you still feel hunger and are not used to the low Cal's. My Dr allowed Protein Snacks like cheese or d

    I'm currently on day 9 post op and I totally felt the same way a few days ago! But around day 5 or so the cravings slowly went away and became soooooo much more manageable! Just keep busy and anytime you start to doubt yourself just remember why you did this and how good it will feel when those pounds come off :)

    Did anyone cheat a little on the liver reduction diet ?

    My advice is, if you HAVE to cheat (you don't), then make sure you do so with low carb foods. Any carbs will knock you out of ketosis and you will have to go through the headaches and fatigue of transitioning into ketosis all over again.

    This^^^ the first 5 days are the worst but then it magically becomes bearable. Cheating is a slippery slope. Part of the reason I had surgery was to stop lying to myself that I needed help. I agree that you are short-changing yourself by cheating. Don't get me wrong, I posted about wanting to take diet pills during my pre-op diet to diminish my hunger pains and thankfully the folks on here talked me out of it. So as the saying goes, "if I can do it, so can you".

    It truly is mind over matter. Your body really does not need more for this short time. You may feel like you are starving at times, but you can get through it. This is just a test of your will power at this point. If you feel yourself getting ready to cheat, just drink some Water, go for a walk, do ANYTHING to distract you. It does get better.
