Starting 2 week liquid diet tomorrow

[Ibejjo 47]

Sorry, I posted this in Tell Your Story by mistake so I am reposting it here. I am scheduled for my vsg surgery on Monday January 17 so I have to start my 2 week liquid diet tomorrow. For the next 2 weeks I will be living on 3-4 Protein Shakes, sugarfree drinks, plain eggs and low fat cheese per day. I am so nervous and scared that I won't be able to do it. Any suggestions and tips to help me make through these next 2 weeks would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jen

Jen, I started my two weeks last Tuesday Dec 28th. I will tell you the first 3 days are rough but then it gets better. You are lucky...I can only have 3 Protein shakes but all the Water, tea and cystal light I want. NO egg or cheese or anything else. One thing is you do lose weight! Yay BUT I've been going to bed early just to get away from the Kitchen! LOL

GOOD LUCK!!!

Just echoing what HopeAndFaith said. It gets so much better after day 3. I think it takes a couple of days to acclimate. You can do it!!

Thank God I've been lucky with mine. I'm on day 7 and tomorrow is the pre surgery diet, Surgery is on Wednesday.

I've been drinking my instant Breakfast, and drinking chicken broth when I get hungry and Jello to keep the chewing sensation going.

Keeping the stomach full with liquid helps the hunger, I haven't really been hungry, but I'm wearing out the carpet walking to the bathroom....
