Scared

[lacy30 8]

so my surgery is in couple weeks...im starting to get cold feet and I'm so not looking forward to the liquid diet before. Any advice? Help

I personally didn't find the liquid diet difficult. I had Jello, crystal light drinks, broths..if I went out to dinner I'd order French onion Soup minus the bread & cheese & picked out the onions and had only the broth- very tasty.

Being nervous is natural, the biggest thin you can do to help with the cold feet is educate yourself! Read here ad check out some of coggins links. He foud some great videos and articles.

The liquid diet before depends on your surgeon. Mine yelled a me because I am on a 1600 calorie high Protein diet before not a mostly liquid only.

The best thing you can do is find a Protein mic u like NOW. Excess protein will help release glycogen stores in your liver, this will help shrink it for surgery. Remember that u need 60g give or take depending on your dr.

I use optimum whey protein from GNC or bodybuilding .com and the mocha Cappuccino is amazing!!! It has 24g protein and I mix it with 2 cups of slim milk so I get an extra 16 ish from that. So 2 of those and your golden!

Being scared is good, it's a natural response and it means that your seriouse and that you appreciate the gravity of the change. Try to relax and remember, life is what your choosing. Welcome to the journey.
