Savedbyamazinggrace 66 Posted September 24, 2012 Good new is...you are closer than I am to having this done and over with : ) I have to do a 14 day liquid diet.< /p> 1 NDN_RN reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hawkihoops 20 Posted September 24, 2012 I am on my last day of 14 days of liquid so you have my sympathy. It has been one of the hardest things I have ever done and I sadly have cheated. Really wish I wouldn't have because it just felt like starting all over again. try to look past the time you have to do it to the bigger journey post surgery if you can. Hang in there. 2 Cinders and NDN_RN reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xavtay2 85 Posted September 24, 2012 NDN RN, yes the pre-op diet is difficult but you can and will do it! Before you know it it will be over and you will be headed to the operating room. I am 13 days post-op and I can tell you the pre-op diet really does prepare you for life after the operation...it is not easy afterwards but it is well worth it! Best of luck on your journey 1 NDN_RN reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TakeCareGirl 161 Posted September 24, 2012 Good luck with it and I feel for you. I am on day nine of ten of my liquid diet. I have done pretty well - not straying except today I took a bite of my daughter's apple as we were at an apple orchard and then I had a swig of Pickle Juice directly from the pickle jar this evening. 1 NDN_RN reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jazzeeja 24 Posted September 24, 2012 Day 3 of my 12 day diet. Optifast shake x5 for 10 days and clears for 2. I want to chew on my own arm. Hang in there NDN_RN! I'm on day 5 of 8 and I don't want to see another strawberry Protein Shake but I know this is the commitment and discipline I'll need to make my surgery a success. We can do it!!!!!! 1 NDN_RN reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gaye jarvis 751 Posted September 24, 2012 You guys can do it! I had to do 14 days of liquid, and I will dry heave if I even smell a Protein Shake now! But boy was it so worth it, I was sleeved on June 18, 2012 and I'm already down 75 lbs, so keep it up cause you will be so proud of yourself! 5 NDN_RN, xavtay2, sunshine821 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bethxxx 304 Posted September 24, 2012 Hang in there! I start mine on the 1st October. I'm really not looking forward to it but at least it means that I'll be closer to the surgery date. Mine consists of 3 shakes a day and in between I can have veggies and salad. I'm just glad it's not shakes only 2 NDN_RN and drexelgirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
