How did you get through pre-op liquid diet?

[Stlchase 33]

I am starting my 4 day pre-op liquid diet tomorrow, surgery is scheduled for Tuesday. Sounds like it all depends on the Doctor & your own individual health history.

Honestly, I'm not sure if my motivation was the healthiest but it worked for me... I stepped on the scale every morning and that motivated me to keep going. I cheated twice and on those days I either didn't lose anything or gained a pound or two. It made me feel awful and was easy to stick to the diet after seeing the results. I lost 15 lbs during the two weeks. Plus I got really excited about fitting into some of the clothes that didn't used to fit me.

The key is liking your liquid. I found that I loved Rockin' Refuel. 30 grams of Protein and 190 calories per serving. I looked forward to it.

Beyond that, just remembering why you're doing it. Two weeks is nothing.
