Struggling with pre op liquid diet

[kayrenae 1]

Surgery date is November 17th. . Started my 12 day liquid diet last Wednesday.. doing 4 protien shakes a day. And lots of other clear fluids... hasnt been to bad till tonight (4th night) im getting hunger pains.. and the shakes are alot less appealing! Still have 8 days to go! Trying to stay positive. .. and know that this is the right thing for me to do!

Keep looking at your long term goal. I just had my surgery on Monday. It's hard but you can do it. Treat yourself to some Tropical smoothie cafe if you have one near you. They make a banging Protein smoothie

I have been on an all liquid diet for 12 days and it is not easy. Everyday changes in terms of feelings. I was a zombie till day 10. I added sugar free popsicles and boulon cubes to the mix to fill me up in between my shakes. This is not impossible but it is not easy at all. Stick to it and the results are awesome.

Is this mandated?? They didn't tellow anything and my information packet doesn't say anything my surgery is tuesday..I did loose weight but def gained some back because I've been waiting on a date since September!! I weight 277 then 280's now when I met with surgeon for last appointment back up to 292!! I know I've bee off track...just nervous. Was booked for nov 6 the night before I get a call saying there was a insurance error! But fingers cross nov 18th is the day! So ready to get healthy and to shut up the haters who think this is the easy way out!
