PRINCESS2218 56 Posted July 2, 2016 The liquid diet is dreaded and VERY TOUGH. The only thing I can faithfully advise you is good luck and if you may cheat get dulcolax or whatever laxative good for you. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BCs 1000 364 Posted July 2, 2016 The only way I got through it was to look at it as the start to my new life. Think about it like that, and it is actually very exciting. Also, I was pretty damn keen for my liver to not be too large for my surgeon to perform my surgery. The first few days of the preop diet were the worst. After day 5 it actually became much easier. Keep busy and dream of all the new things you will be able to do this time next year. Hang in there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
