I have to be on the pre-op liquid diet for 2 weeks. I only have 3 more days to go but I am soooooo over it! I am totally sick of Water, Gatorade, Protein shakes, jell-o, Popsicles and chicken broth!!! Any suggestions to help me through these last few days?!? #struggling #surgeryin3 days #sleeve #excited

Thanks in advance!

Can you have anything else? Mine allowed 1/2 cup cream of wheat sugar free pudding low fat yogurt, and v8, those helped me feel full.

No...unfortunately none of those are listed on my sheet [emoji22]

The liquid part of the experience is something that you have to just persevere through, unfortunately. You'll likely have to remain on liquids for a time post-op, as well. (For me, it was 3 weeks post-op.)

The good news is that it won't last forever, but it is an important time in the journey. It certainly isn't easy.

Good luck!

You're right...3 more days! Starting post-op day 3, I can have full liquids like creamed soups and such which will give me a few more options. Really looking forward to that [emoji4]
Thanks

I am on post-op day two of liquids. I was following the eating plan my doctor put me on. We started fluids a day early. So, it's 4 days total. I'm pretty tired and I've just been packing my hospital bag, organizing my kitchen so I'm ready to go for week 1 liquids. I'm definitely feeling an early bed-time a long struggle at the office tomorrow. My grand-father was put in the hospital this week as well, so super stressed.

It's definitely hard but will totally be worth it. Good luck! We got this!
