Clear Liquid Diet: Day 1

[missvee 28]

I have to do 2 days of a clear liquid diet. Surgery is on Monday and I'm hungry!!

My day started at 7 and I've had:

42 ounces of Water

2- 5oz sugar free Jello

1- Isopure Protein Drink (it was delicious)

1 cup of beef broth (this was life)

I keep asking the kids if they're hungry because I'm hungry, they're looking at me like I'm crazy, and I just want something else! Headache galore and the anxiety is REAL! Uugghh it'll all be worth it in the end

Hi my name is Carol

I wll be having my surgery in December and I dont know if thats the best time to have it done because of the holidays, I will try to move to to Jan.

Im suppose to do a liquid diet 2 weeks before surgery and really hope I can make it that long. Like you said it will pay off in the end.

Good luck and I will follow you to see how you are making out.

Hang in there... maybe going to bed early wil help

Are you allowed more Protein Drink? That's basically what I've been having, but I can have 4 Protein drinks a day.

I can't have Protein powder so I've stocked up on the isopure drinks and Atkins lift but the lift is really sweet for me

Thank you! I don't think I would be able to do the liquids during the holidays, it was making my kids chicken fingers and I almost cried!

I don't think I've thought about food this much EVER! Good luck on your new beginnings!

Ok all I'm on day 5 and I cheated - I am only allowed 4 Optifast things a day. I was desperate so I ate one Greek yogurt and had made chicken broth and out a egg in it like egg drop Soup. I figured egg not bad and yogurt only 80 caps and good for digestion - speaking of this - anyone else having the um bathroom issue (running to the bathroom- no pun intended ) it's gonna be a rough 9 more days - the family brought home pizza - smelled great - so they all laughed that I fed the cat and sniffed the cat food... Smelled bad and took mind off pizza

No digestive issues for me at all.

Hm. My liquid diet also includes "full liquids" like oatmeal, cream of wheat, yogurt, pudding, etc.

The good news is that it gets easier as the days go on. The great news is that you only have to do this for 2 days.

I'm currently on day 6. Are you allowed miso Soup? It's packed with Protein and is only 30 or so calories.

@@paramedic

I know everyone's pre op diet is different but if it makes you feel better, I'm allowed 100g of Protein (including eggs), per day.

Post surgery I'm 100 gm of Protein a day..... Working at a fire house is tough because I usually help cook and still do. I'm not telling crew what I'm having done - not sure why embarrassed by getting this done. To me I feel like I'm taking the ez way out and to others they will never understand.

I've only told a few people, for similar reasons. I'm about 12.5 hours away from being on the operating table, and I'm planning on telling most people after the surgery is done.
