day 2 of preop liquid diet and I messed up!

So I'm on dayb2 of an 14 day liquid diet and I messed up and had a sandwich!! I feel like I already fails, but my head was hurting so bad I felt like I had no choice. I'm not sure how I will make the next 13 days with no food.[emoji20]

Hello

It is difficult to be on a liquid diet for 2 weeks but it's normal to give up but jump back on track. Make sure you having enough protein, and follow other list of things you can have according to your surgeon diet. Protein will keep you fuller. It takes at least 4 days for your body to adjust and than you will be ok. The first few days are the hardest than your body will be ok. Think positive and you will be ok. ?

What helped me was broth, broth broth broth all the time kept me full and it's delicious. Added species and red pepper flakes for variety. Good luck!

2 weeks is a long time. Your gonna have to try and keep it interesting. Some Ideas - 1. sugar free popsicles, make your own with Crystal Light, I prefer Mango Pineapple Passion. 2. Find a really good soup you like and strain every bit of food out of it, will taste better. That broth will get old quickly. 3. A good Protein shake is Muscle Milk Pro Intense Vanilla, blended it with some ice, pure vanilla extract. Hope this help. This was the only way I could have made the pre op diet. Good luck

broth with some Better than Bouillion base mixed in...it is super flavorful and helped me through the liquid prep stage. I thankfully didn't have to do 2 weeks before. I feel for you!!! The two weeks after were bad enough.

GOOD LUCK!!!

Protein shake -like premier protein- used to make sugar/fat free pudding... Saved me more than once. Along with broth. And sugar free popsicles... I lasted 21 days. Youve got this!

Okay I'll be honest I had 3 weeks pre op diet and I would sneak a sandwhich once in awhile I was so hungry and miserable! Now i don't recommend it you want to keep up the liquids and little solid food eating so your liver will be nice and small the day of surgery. Don't beat yourself up keep trying! It's awful and post op dieting is much easier.

My surgeon didn't put me on a complete liquid diet. I was allowed 2 protein shakes and one lean cuisine meal everyday for two weeks and I was fine. But to be honest, I cheated a couple of times, but made it. On my surgery date, I found that I still lost 10 pounds. The shakes I used helped me with hunger because of high protein. And I ate my meal late so I wouldn't be awake too long afterwards. Just keep it up, you will make it.

I'm not sure why some surgeons torture us with these diets lol but I'm hanging on best I can and so far loss 6 pounds in 4 days

Every pre-op diet is so different. Mine is 10 days and I'm allowed 3 protein drinks, 2 cups broth, 1 cup thicker soup like tomato, 1 nf yogurt and 1 oatmeal packet per day plus clear fluids. I've lost 10-12 pounds in 8 days and do feel hungry and light headed but shrinking my liver is worth it.
