I’m 6 days into my 14 day liquid diet. The first 3 days were bad. It’s definitely gotten easier.

I been averaging 5 premier shakes and try to drink at least 3-4 cups of water along with 2 cups of chicken broth.

I’m having a hard time sleeping because all this liquid is making me use the restroom every 2hrs.

I tried to finish shakes + dinner by 9-10p and still wake up from my exploding bladder.

Peeing is part & parcel of better hydrating yourself. I go every 60-90 minutes so am jealous of your two hours. Mine slows in the hours after midnight when I rarely/never have to go. You get used to it & some find they eventually stretch out their bathroom visits as their bodies get used to the higher fluid intake.

Plans are very different but 5 shakes & two cups of broth seems a lot. A shake is considered a meal & a cup of broth is a meal too so you are having the equivalent of 7 meals a day. Is this what your plan advises?

It will be your surgery day before you know it. All the best.

I can have up to 1000 calories a day. Depending on the shake brand, it’s 5 or 6 shakes a day. I’m currently drink the premier protein shakes that are 160 calories a serving. 30 calories from snacks which can be sugar free jello or low sodium chicken broth. I’m also allowed 2 cups of non starchy veggies with 2 tbsp of fat free dressing or vinegar. Been fortunate that I’m at least allowed to eat some solid food versus full liquids

I wasn't allowed to have veggies and dressing, but everything else is the same - I was allowed 4-5 shakes a day, 1 C each of chicken broth and V8/tomato juice, and an unlimited amount of sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles, and no- or very low calorie fluids.
