Did Anyone Cheat On Pre-Op Liquid Diet?

[steffie78 2]

So I'm on day 3 of my 15 day liquid diet. I have cheated once per day. Not huge like yesterday i had some popcorn and today I had some rice . I can't stand the Protein Shakes I got from the doctor and I feel the need to at least put something in my tummy

I start my pre op diet on April 9th. I know it's gonna be hard but I'm gonna try and stick to it. I stopped all of the Snacks and goodies two weeks ago to prepare myself for this. I have the Adkins shakes theyre pretty good. You should try them. Also special k has Protein Water. Good luck.

I so thought I would cheat but I wanted to do good and so I pushed myself. I didn't cheat once during my preop diet. I used and still use the EAS car advantage ready made shakes, vanilla or chocolate are good. I picked them up first at Walmart but then I found they have a bulk case at sam's club and it works out to be $1.25 a shake. Not bad. Try a different shake if u don't like the one the doctor gave u. My doctor gave us a list of like 50 u can use and a list of 10 to stay away from. You can finish this journey without cheating, I know if I can then u can. Goodluck with the rest of the week and your surgery!!!

This is my first post. My surgery date is 4-30-12, and my surgeon didn't put me on any liquid diet...am I missing something? I have my endoscopy scheduled for tomorrow.

I have yet to find a Protein Shake that doesn't make me gag . I was put on a liquid diet for 2 weeks but it seems every dr is different and they all requirw different things. I feel like I'm not gonna make it another 11 days on these nasty Protein Shakes and broth

Have you tried the Atkins shakes. I think they're pretty good. I started my pre op diet today. I'm allowed Protein Shakes, broth, Jello and vegetables. Good luck.

I am on day 15 of my 28 day pre op liquid diet. I do have to admit that after 13 days of drinking nothing but four shakes a day and some diet come, I cheated on Easter morning and had a hard boiled egg, ok two eggs lol. And today I cheated and had a piece of cheese. Also in the last two weeks I have had maybe 3 or 4 sugar free jellos. Im not a big fan of Jello but st least it makes me feel somewhat full. My surgey is scheduled for April 23 2012

I just started my pre op diet yesterday. I only have to do it for two weeks. I can't imagine 28 days. My surgery is also April 23rd.

It was hard for the first few days. I only drank four shakes and a can of diet coke. Then at around day four I lost my appetite totally. But I have a one yr old and a three yr old so feeding them is hard when your stomachs growling and u just want one little bite but I kept telling myself one little bite isn't going to fill me so why bother but Easter I gave in and ate two boiled eggs. 13 days in. Now today (11th) is day 17. I'd settle for celery at this point lol.

[biggirl2012 3]

I am so hungry that my stomach is kicking my backbone LOL!

[steffie78 2]

LOL, I'm finally to the point that I have no appetite anymore.....makes me wonder if i should have surgery still . Im not getting enough Protein in though cuz I'm only drinking one shake a day cuz I can't stand them!!!

It's a lot easier when there are ppl around u are supportive. In the beginning of my liquid diet my family was a little more supportive then they are now. Really makes me irritated when I'm so hungry my stomachs growling and then have to sit and watch my boyfriend gulp down McDonalds. I keep telling myself this is my journey not his but I wish he would be more supportive.
