Pre-Surgery Liquid Diet

Hello!
Newbie here?? I finished my first official day of being on an all liquid diet and honestly I’m hangry, I’m a bit irritated, and I just want to eat! Lol but I’m hoping after about day 3 or 4 I don’t feel the need to eat like I used to. Any tips on how to curve the craving for food in general?? Surgery date is August 7th?‍?

While on the liquid diet is it ok to scramble liquid eggs and eat them?

Unfortunately no. Eggs are a solid food. Liquids mean you have to be able to drink the ‘food’ - no chewing.

?Newbie here as well and I just started my liquid diet on Monday. I’m on day 3 and can say that it has been less of a hangry day than the first 2 days for me. I’m usually a night snacker so that time has been the hardest, and chewing jello only does so much for me. 11 more days for me until my surgery. Stay strong over there!

Had a thought. You could possibly have an egg flip. Blend egg, milk vanilla & a little nutmeg or cinnamon. But check with your team.

Dublunv.....I too was a night time snacker. And a " Finish all that is on your plate"

I started my liquid diet on Monday, had our granddaughter with us so there was no time for that HANGRY monster in me to show its ugly head lol busy busy busy I was.

That definitely helped.

Try munching on sugar free popsicles or freezes...

Today I go for my pre op appointment

August 14 is coming up Fast

Well guys my liquid diet has officially started as of yesterday afternoon! I can have low fat cottage cheese, low fat or light yogurt and of course sugar free popsicles! Did anyone receive a binder for right after surgery to minimize pain in the abdomen? How did you feel after waking up from surgery?
