I heed help, I have been given a short pre-op date of June 5 and I have to go on the liquid fast immediatley. I have been on it since Wednesday 5/28 but it is difficult. To be honest, I have slipped and had a sweet potatoe and some green beans last night. I know I need to stay on this diet for the surgery next week but I don't know if I have given myself enough time to prepare mentally. I would postpone but the surgery has been postponed twice in the past and I don't want to do it again. It was postponed once for rejection by the insurance company and another because of a swollen knee which turned out to be torn cartilege. This is my first time posting and I am desparate for any advise to help me stay the course. Also, does anyone know what happens if you DON'T follow the liquid diet completely? On a good note, I have lost 2 lbs in the 2 days since starting the diet. I am desparate to lose this weight. Elect-Lady :thumbup:

Thanks EriaLyn, Never thought of mixing shakes. I'll try that. I didn't quite understand the liver shrinking part but now that I do, I'll give a hardier effort.
