Since you're a diabetic you should talk to ur nutritionist asap. I don't believe my desired act of violence against Protein Shakes will help much [emoji12]

I second that, please talk with your nut asap. the nut will adjust your diet. Maybe ask if you can have a snack pack of raw carrots to carry with you daily, when you need your blood sugar to go back up.

im on my pre-op, but not all liquids. Every surgeon is different but I'm quite sure some carrots or something else won't have a negative impact on you surgery coming up.

Have you spoken with your endocrinologist? I had to adjust my insulin a bit during the pre-op diet to avoid lows. When I did get low I took glucose tabs, which my bariatric Dr approved. The liquid diet sucks super bad. I had to make a list of things I hated about being fat and refer to it often when I felt weak. It helped me get through. Good luck!

I'm on day 4 of the pre-op diet and I totally hear you. It's going mostly okay, but there are moments where I wish I could just eat something besides a carrot and celery! The plain broth helps and remembering why I'm doing this also helps.

Good luck to you!

Yes talk to your nutritionist but stick with it. You will be glad you did!

May 16th here as well. In the middle of my Pre-Op liquid diet. It's a struggle but surprisingly I'm hanging in there. I just keep a big cup of crystal light beside me all day and drink constantly.

I'm allowed lo-carb vegetables so I googled it to know which vegetables fit the bill and came up with a salad of beet/artichoke hearts/cucumber/onion/fat free Caesar Salad Dressing. It absolutely helps with the hunger. It's delicious.
