Autumn Riley Arnold 92 Posted September 4, 2016 Tomorrow I go on the 3 day, clear liquid diet, before my Surgery on Wednesday. Man, the nerves are REALLY kicking in! Every time I think about it, I get butterflies. Can you guys please just give me a little support and encouragement that I can wake up to tomorrow morning? Maybe it won't be so bad if I can look at the things you've said from time to time when it gets hard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cervidae 2,389 Posted September 4, 2016 Girl if I could somehow manage to do this crazy thing and live this crazy life, you can too! You're ready for this, and this sounds schmutzy but I believe what you put out into the universe comes back to you. And you're putting out determination and readiness for a whole new awesome life. So be awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bellalulu 87 Posted September 4, 2016 You will do great! And good luck. You can make it for three days. I have been on it a week took one day off and now i am back in it for two more weeks. So you will breeze right through three days. Trust me, I did it and I thought I couldn't and was very surprised when I did it and didn't feel actual hunger. Just stick to a schedule and drink those shakes they do fill you up along with the Fiber. Good luck. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bellalulu 87 Posted September 4, 2016 Hi! Well that's what's on my liquid diet. You should call your team or whoever is your nurse at your center and ask. It may be different but those Protein drinks won't hurt your weight loss diet or liver shrink diet. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Yes sure, no problem.

Slimliz 17 Posted September 5, 2016 Clear liquid diet does not include Protein shakes. This means you must be able to "see" through the liquids which include broth and Jello. The Preop liquid diet that is anywhere from 1-3 weeks depending on your BMI does include Protein drinks. https://medlineplus.gov/ency/patientinstructions/000205.htm Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
