dlinnh 44 Posted October 29, 2012 I started my liquid pre-op diet today - and it sucks! the shakes are making me gag. 13 more days will be hell. I'd rather not eat a thing. How do people do nothing but shakes and Water for 14 days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bakawaka 59 Posted October 29, 2012 I started my liquid pre-op diet today - and it sucks! the shakes are making me gag. 13 more days will be hell. I'd rather not eat a thing. How do people do nothing but shakes and Water for 14 days. Suggestion: call your nutritionist and ask if anything else is allowed. I am in day three and tired of the shakes. I am not hungry, however. My nutritionist will allow steamed vegetables if I am very hungry but wants me to stick to the diet. I bought vegetable stock and bouillon to drink to change from something sweet to something savory, I am tired of drinking sweet stuff. I always find myself very thirsty on the liquid diet. I am drinking a lot of Water but still thirsty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bbkipps99 48 Posted October 29, 2012 Week 2 im not really hungry forcing the shakes down( not bad tasting not the best either lol) im trying to get my Water in as well the sf drink mix help change it up. Im just not hungry. Anyone else the same way? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How do people do nothing but shakes and Water for 14 days. Hey Dinnh, The first day is the worst... You will get use to it. Believe me I know where you are coming from, headaches and all, I didn't think I was going to make it past the first day but I did and I am on my fourth day...but I can have a fat free lunch(lean meat, fresh veggies). Just stay focused on the New Journey and how much this short term inconvenience is going to help you live Longer!!! Hang in there and keep your Eye on the Prize(a new You) 1 dlinnh reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
