      My date is March 1, and I dont have to start liquid diet until afterwards. Just low carb/no sugar one week out, although I’ve already started as a way to get my head in the game and stay invested. Go

      I heard about Premier Clear and got some from Amazon. I love it! The peach is my favorite. This is going to be my drink going forward after being a soda lover.

    Awesome to hear! I’m only on the liquid diet for 2 days (Sunday and Monday) Surgery is on Tuesday.

    Yay we are on the same day. We will do great. I'm just a little nervous about the diet afterwards. I want to do everything the right way. They said to that keto is a good diet to follow. Makes me feel at ease a bit.

    Yes after the surgery I’m on a 2 week liquid, 2 week purée and then 2 week soft food. We’ll do great. I keep hearing about the discomfort with the gas. My dr prescribed some medicine for it already. So we shall see

    I was discharged on March 8th. The pain will ease up as time goes by. Today I was able to driver. One step at a time. Have Tylenol on deck. How are you doing with the liquid in take? I promise the pain will ease up. Yesterday was the first day I showered since the surgery. Trust me you’re going to be ok. Stay hydrated and rest so your body can heal.

    How are you feeling? Doing ok, just started the purée stage, which last for 2 weeks. The first week was the hardest. It’s gotten much easier :-)
