I did the liquid diet for 3 days prior to my surgery. I was very hungry and tired because of it. But, that's what you do.

I had a 10 day preop diet of 4 shakes a day and 2 cups of low-starch fruit/veggies a day per doctor's orders

starting mine wed. she told me dont even look at breakfast... eeechhh,, gonna see if can do coffee at least, bought some decaf little envelopes to slowly wean off. or wed gonna be major headache day. My big meal lately is breakfast,,, this will be different, but I am ready good luck with yours

I was on the pre-op diet for 3 weeks (dr's orders). I had 2-3 protein shakes a day and 1 or 2 sensible/healthy meals. Most days I only had 1 meal. I did not find it hard at all, but then I only drink decaf coffee. I weened myself off regular coffee a number of yeaers ago and swore I would never do regular again...the headaches were real killers.

You could take caffein pills if you needed to, I would imagine. That should help until you can get off the stuff.

I have to do the 3 protein shakes a day, I can have sugar free jello, pudding , Icecream, gatoraideYogurt for breakfast and all the unsweet tea and cyrstal lite. Today, I mixed a yogurt with a shake to add substance, since I could have one after it. I have to do this till sugery on the 15th.

I had 8 oz of meat and 2 cups of veggies a day for 2 weeks before my surgery, which was yesterday. I was very excited when they weighed me and I had lost 23 pounds.

I was on 14 day pre 800 calorie liquid diet prior to surgery
