10 Day Clear Liquid Diet

[cmbd 17]

I'm on day 6 of my clear liquid diet--nothing but broth, sugar free Jello and Popsicles, and 3 Protein Shakes a day. I'm starving!!! Lol. I'm really looking forward to my surgery Friday, though. I'm a little nervous about the pain, but super thrilled to have a chance to be healthier and feel better about myself. With God's help, this is going to be a success!!!!

Liquid diet.. I've done individual days here and there to see how I will manage when the time comes to do this every day for a month. What I notice is that mid morning and mid afternoon I'm exhausted! I could fall asleep at my desk talking to someone! It's awful! I'm drinking Body Fortress which is a Protein pdr. Sometimes I drink 2 servings at a time. Not only do I become exhausted, but I get jittery and sometimes nauseous. (yes, I still drink black coffee. 2-3 cups in the a.m.)

Has anyone else had this problem?

I also use my c-pap @ night.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I think this is the hardest thing I have ever done. Everywhere I look there is food. People at work talking about food. I'm getting by one day at a time, but man this isn't easy. Im not hungry but my mouth wants everything. Sigh.... Please let this get better.

It definitely is .. Especially when you see your family eating and you can't participate ... But I have convinced myself to stay strong ! The battle has only begun !

Friday I start my 2 week pre-op diet but unlike all of u, I'm allowed to have 600-800 calories worth of food like yogurt, cottage cheese and lean meats...I'm kind of jealous that mine isn't all liquid lol I dont feel normal being able to eat food for mine (I know sounds weird of me to say that lol) you all are doing amazing!!!
