Day 3 of pre-op liquid diet

[Em_JW 36]

I'm having a hard time convincing myself that cheating is not an option. I recently moved and lost the list of appropriate liquids for my diet so I've been drinking Protein Shakes, broth, and Water. I emailed my nutritionist but won't get a reply till Monday. So I'm totally just continuing these 3 items since they're the Only ones I remember being able to have.

When will my stomach stop growling in public? It's super embarrassing! :-(

I say do 3 shakes minimum and a 4th if needed but just add Water. You will fill you up without a large amount of calories. Pre-op diets are high Protein low carb.

My preop diet includes food. While it seems like it would be easier I'm finding it really hard. I'd rather be on liquid only at this point.

food sounds amazing right now but I know that the food is most likely not what I'm picturing. If i were allowed food I think it would be more difficult. What do you do when you're struggling? I'd love some advice.

I come here and read about other people going through similar challenges. Right now I'm doing some extra cleaning and dusting around the house. I got some nice colored pencils and have been coloring a really detailed picture in a coloring book. Distraction seems to help me. Every time I want to eat I drink my sugar free grape crush drink. I'm gonna miss being able to drink a lot at one time.
