YES I understand fully! We had a few people over on Sunday and they had all the good cookout foods… and beer lol it was the hardest day of my liquids yet. I just tried to keep busy and had my shake and broth. It’s so hard but we can do it!! It won’t be like this forever. Stay strong!

Started liquid diet today & this is hard. I chose to skip a bbq today so I can focus and stay strong day 1.

I too am on the liquid diet and what I can tell you is that it DOES get easier. I’m on day 12 with 2 days to go and counting. 12lbs down xx

Just a FYI, from Mayo Clinic, it seems that iron should not be taken together with calcium or multivitamins.

https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/iron-supplement-oral-route-parenteral-route/precautions/drg-20070148#:~:text=Do not take iron supplements,each medicine or dietary supplement.

My surgeon doesn’t require a pre op diet. When I asked him why he said that it didn’t shrink the liver that much, may not help the recovery but not enough studies to say definitely, and that it’s just torcher.

To all who are required to do the pre op liquid diet, you got this! Just shows how dedicated you are, how strong you are and you are capable!! I believe in you!

Anyone to be operated on the 6th?

Good morning all, Thanks Maris never thought about bringing a hospital bag that's a good idea. I already have my must haves for home vitamins chewable etc. Off to walmart I go today.
