Is it just me or has anyone else been lightheaded during the liquid diet phase. My doctor is super strict about the liquid diet. Its Clear liquids only no Protein what so ever. I'm soooo lightheaded. I go on Friday for surgery.

Man this CLD is rough! I'm coffeeing it up because I had enough broth to drown a rat! : ) LOL.

I had two tablespoons of cottage cheese and a bite of a cracker before my presentation today. I think I sounded reasonably articulate but we'll see if people are chattering about me in the office tomorrow.

I've always detested gatorade...but I'm becoming quite fond of it! I also really like the beefy onion Soup by McCormik. I left the onions to settle at the bottom of the pot. It was a nice little switch up from the chicken bullion.

I think my biggest concern is that my "cheating", while small is still against what the doctor said. Do you think I should call them and tell them that I took a bite here and there? I've really pounded the liquids.

Since Sunday I've had about 1/4 cup of cottage cheese, a bit of salmon, a cracker, and something else I'm sure. It's strange...almost out of desperation. I feel uncompliant...which isn't like me. I tend to be a rule follower.

I might try the McCormik soup. I would not tell them about the cheating!! The might postpone your band.

I made it through last night. I went to dinner with some visiting managers and there was a nice salad at my seat. Gave it to the server and my can of broth. Then, I came back from the restroom and found a LOVELY rare prime rib, chicken breast, roasted potatoes and green Beans. Gave it back to the server and he brought my broth. Took the plate home and cut it up for my pit bull and did not take a bite. That was the hardest thing that I have ever done.

Luna, I agree with Dana I dont think I'd tell them. In all honesty its not that much when you put it in perspective however, I would lay off the food really! I called my doctor and he agreed to the crackers but I've been extremely carefull not to eat to many. I do feel so much better now. Stay strong you'll be there in no time.

Danalou, nope dont want to trade you! LOL : ) However, I'll be happy to lend an ear if you want to complain!

Good luck girls my surgery is tomorrow! Wow how time has flown!

Mine is tomorrow as well!!! I got the call to be there at 10:30 for a scheduled surgery at 12:30pm. Good Luck!

Good Luck to you both!! I'm scheduled for 5/20. Got 3 more days of Carnation Instant Breakfast and broth. ): But, I can do it....you guys did it!!!

Let me know how it goes.

Happy thoughts are with you!:thumbup:

I’m on the full liquid diet and still getting lightheaded.
