Each surgeon has a different plan for eating on the liquid diet. For example I had to drink four Protein Shakes a day and raw vegetables.

Did your nutritionist or surgeon give you a list of what you can have at this stage?

I suggest doing some activity that keeps you busy. For an example take a course at the local college or an art class. Learn to knit or crochet. Find something that is interesting for you.

Go start exercising on a regular basis. You will be doing that activity after surgery about three weeks or four weeks after surgery. When you have your surgery walk as much as you can because that will help with the pain.

Last but not least good luck with your surgery.

@ chelly thanks for the advice . my nut wants me on the liquid diet like sf pudding, sf applesauce, slim fast about 3 cans a day . so far i can get in about 2 can a day.

Betsy I suggest you skip a little of the other stuff and drink that third slim fast because at this point you are not getting enough Protein in your body. That's the most important part in eating correctly. Protein always comes first then Water then the other foods.

If you want to ask your nutritionist about this and I'm pretty sure they will say the same thing.

Good luck with your upcoming surgery.
