Pre-Op Liquid Diet...

[tasherie 35]

Im not gonna complain (mantra)..Im not gonna complain..BUT all I can say is that the next two weeks will be ROUGH. I think while at work it won't be so bad because I stay busy pretty much all day. The weekends tho...I am definantly going to need a hobby..or three. My old hobby was to plan big fat meals to eat and enjoy. I can see a lot of walks in my future LOL :ph34r:

Can someone explain what's the point of the liquid diet 2 WEEKS prior to the surgery

[tasherie 35]

Its suppose to shrink your liver so that when they are in your abdomen they can go under the liver with no problems. Every surgeon has different guidelines.

I started my liquid diet on Tuesday. It's not as hard as I thought it would be. Except for throne in shakes now make me sick in the stomach and I can't get them down.

I also started on Tuesday. I attempted to start 2 weeks out and I had some rough spots but as of today I feel great. Jello doesn’t really agree with my for some reason. I’m just worried Im doing it right. 4 shakes a day, some Greek yogurt & chicken broth is my main diet at this point. Ive lost 5lbs. And I recommend the Wegmans whey Protein if you have one in you area. I think it tastes better than most I have tried. The shakes are starting to get nasty on me too, that’s why I switched the brand. It helped a lot. I knew when I stole a bite of my 17 month olds Soup that I have an issue, so I have really been sticking with it!!! Best of luck everyone. My Day is the 29th (Leap Sleeve!)

My doctor said I could stay on my activia regimen because it helps me....(Go) *blush..that Jello, sf pudding, protien shakes, broth, crystal light (or other sf, calorie free drinks..i just like crystal light best) and Water are all I can have. So far so good. The shake seems to stall my hunger for the most part. Heres to praying it stays that way.

I started my 2 week diet Tuesday and I'm DYING! LOL I thought it was supposed to get easier??! I was bad and had some kale but I swear I won't do it again. It has too many carbs! But mentally I'm better. I think I just needed to chew something.

Good luck to everyone!!
