I'm really struggling with the pre-op liquid diet so I'm turning to this page to keep my mind off of wanting to stuff my face. Thank God my doctor only requires me to be on the liquid diet for a week. I'm on day 5 and I feel like I could die. I'm doing 2 shakes per day, chicken broth and Jello for lunch and supper. Drinking Water and crystal light in between. I'm ready to get this over with!!!!! Surgery scheduled for Tuesday 1/31.

You can do it! Keep your eye on the prize.

I am 6 days post op RNY. I had to do the liquid diet for two weeks prior to my surgery on 1/23 and believe me, I hear you. It was difficult. I would've given anything to bite into something crunchy and actually chew it. But I was relieved to hear my surgeon say my liver looked great and reduced my risks during surgery.

You've got this! Good luck!

Can you chew gum when on liquid diet

Can you chew gum when on liquid diet

Yes, my surgeon said it was fine, i had gum during pre op. My liver was "near perfect" according to him. You just can't have it after midnight the day before surgery, or the day of surgery due to the saliva that builds up. They'll cancel your surgery for that. Hope that helps

Thank you all for the support!! I just keep telling myself it's going to be worth it in the end. I have made it through day 6. Tomorrow I go on Clear liquids only so no Protein shakes to keep me feeling full so that sucks. But it's only 1 day so I CAN do it!

I'm on day 2, & my pre-op liquid diet is for 2 weeks. It's so hard, my energy is low. But I keep telling myself there is an end date & it's all for a very good reason. We can do it.hang in there.
