This feels like the hardest part ): 4 more days..



Recommended Posts

Surgery on Monday. I'm on my liquid diet, which is KILLING ME. I'm trying so so hard to stick to it, and it's so hard to be on social media or even watch tv and see ANY food cause it makes me so hungry ): the packets they gave me taste horrible and make me wanna barf. So I've been drinking Water and juice and chicken broth. That's it ): also my nerves are setting in. As I'm getting closer and it's getting more real, it's making my stomach turn. My pre op class is tomorrow so I'll get all the paperwork and everything done so I won't have to do anything the morning of surgery, but it's just all getting very very real. I just need a boost of confidence to make it through this final stretch. Any advice??

Try to keep yourself busy or get out of the house when you can. Hell, some nights I just went to bed an hour early because I didn't want to be up thinking about the surgery or food. The last few days can wear you down. We've all been there but you can get through it. Just have to look forward to the future and a new healthier you.

Does your plan not allow you to have Protein Shakes? Most everybody's seems to or is that the packets you are referring to?

I think those are the ones they gave me! There's a box of vanilla packets and a box of chocolate packets and they are so disgusting I want to throw them up. So I don't know what to do!!

I know what you mean I have 5 more days of fasting until my surgery and I am trying to keep busy getting my house clean and ready so that when I come home there will be nothing to do... also I am going shopping to make sure I have everything in the house I need when I come home... ugh! Just keep busy.. may God Bless your surgery and I pray that you have a spectacular weight loss journey

Make your own Protein Shakes, or go grab some Premier shakes at Walmart or cotsco

For me, the preop diet was SO much worse than postop. I agree with previous poster - stay busy! Clean out closets, read books, buy all of your postop supplies, etc. You can do this!

It is hard. My surgery is Wednesday. I've been on this liquid diet for almost two weeks. I have a baby shower to attend tomorrow with all kinds of foods and sweets. Please pray for me !





You've got this!! I'm on day 5 of my liquid diet. Yesterday I threw my best friend a bridal shower. All of the food and sweets you could think of were there. I actually wasn't tempted because I made sure I drunk my Protein shakes/ate my Jello so that I would be full and wouldn't even consider sneaking a bit.

You can do it!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
