Starting my pre op liquid diet..Help!

[KristyVSG 8]

So today was my pre op visit (Surgery March 16) since my surgery is next week and my doctor told me to start a liquid diet Friday. That's 6 days till surgery! I've done my research and yes a liquid diet is mandatory to reduce the liver but I thought it was going to be 2 to 3 days before:(

So I was hoping to get advice to get me through the weekend and work. I can only imagine the Ogre I will become...(i've seen it before)

Thanks in advance

No advice from me. But count your blessings. Some of us have 2 week - 1 month liquid diets! ???????? I'll pull out my books of foods/suggestions from the surgeon's office and see if I can send you some pictures of it!

My surgeon considers yogurt a liquid. So I drank Protein Shakes and then had yogurt for dinner [emoji6]

Hi KristyVsg! It's actually not that bad. My surgery is March 15 and I'm on day 7 of my liquid diet. As long as you keep yourself busy your body won't even remember "oh I'm hungry". Lol! I'm normally chilled and in the house after work, but since I've started this diet I've been working out twice a day to stay busy and it's working. I'm down 11lbs. I just minimum my workout activities to riding the stationary bike and walking around the indoor track to avoid getting light headed or dehydrated.

I'm 3/16 also! I have to do the 2 week diet and its nottt easy ... those first 3-4 days really sucked but I kinda figured out as long as I drank my shakes every 2 hours and also drank a ton of Water I felt a lot better. Good luck to you !

If you use the powdered shake mix, you can make pudding by using less Water.
