I'm Not Afraid Of The Surgery...

[NCHope 0]

It's the liquid Diet I'm scared to death of!!!!!

I called my ins. today and they said that I should have an answer this week.

I have to do the 2 week before and 2 week after surgery.

I do not like even the smell of Protein shakes. I don't know what I'm going to do. My engery is already low. I feel like if they do approve me I'm not going to be happy because I don't think I can do this liquid thing.

Any ideas?

thanks

I also have the 2 week pre-op & 2 week post-op. Are you allowed anything else besides the Protein Shakes? ?? I can have broth, smooth greek yogurt, cream of wheat, and the shakes. I had to do the diet once before (denied 2 days before surgery so I did the entire diet once before). I didnt like the shakes but they kept me full. Protein is a very important key to this success of the surgery. Ask your surgeon what else you can have. And drink lots of water!!

I'm on day 9 of the liquid pre op. Everyday is a little easier than the day before. I can't have any solid food at all.....no yogurt or cream of wheat for me. I am just so sick of the shakes!!! I will be so glad when this is over! I think after surgery it will be way easier being on the liquids. Of course I could be wrong.
