Pre - op liquid diet struggle

[LMolina1987 75]

So today I started my clear liquid diet and already I have the bubble guts I'm excited and scared all at the same time I'm struggling with this diet and my inner goofy gave in glhqd ice cream. Kind of embarrassing already giving in after the first day. Any advice.

Just curious why you are on a clear liquid pre-op diet? Mine was protien shakes (I.e. Not clear). Be sure you are still getting plenty of Protein. It will help with the cravings and hunger. I didn't haven to do a clear liquid diet until post op.

How many Protein shakes do you have a day and what does your liquid diet look like ?

I am actually 4 months post op now. My first week after surgery was Clear liquids. But honestly my new tummy didnt want much else. Your just trying to stay hydrated. Second week I think it took me all day to drink one premier Protein drink. By week 3 I could get in 2 Protein drinks a day. By week 4 I started on soft foods if they were well chewed. I found Greek yogurt was easy to get down. . Talk to your surgeon. Every surgeon seems to have slightly different approaches. If you trust them to do the surgery, trust them on the diet too. .

P.s. I still do a premier Protein Drink most weekday morning to make sure I get my Protein in. Can't stress enough how important getting the protein in is! That is what is going to make your recovery go better. Your body needs it to repair itself.

I haven't read people doing an all clear liquid diet for 2 weeks but have heard ppl do a Protein liquid diet for 2 weeks and either one or two day Clear Liquids before surgery..ask your surgeon and see if he can clarify what he wants for you just in case. I just started my liquid diet and trying to squeeze in 5 Protein Shakes a day plus a Multivitamin shake my doctor wants me to take. For it being my first day I've survived with no cheats (yay!) I don't know how I'm going to survive the rest of the week at work, its my last week before I take off but I have a very fast paced job xD I have to figure ot out lol best of luck!

Same with the foods for me but I haven't gone shopping for that yet, was getting over a cold this past weekend lol for me it's low sodium chicken broth, sugar free Jello and popsicles and sugar free sweetners or additives to the water..those like little drops you drop into your water bottle lol idk what they're called

I would really check with your doctor. There is no way I could do just clear liquids for two weeks pre-op. ???? I would have cheated too.
