Just need support

I started my pre-op diet of Optifast for 2 weeks. Only clear broths if hunger is severe. I've never had an all liquid diet and my god is this hard. Doesn't help that the optifast doesn't taste too great either. My surgery date is June 27th so I'm hoping time goes by fast

It does get easier but it was never easy.
I added cinnamon or peppermint to vanilla to help with flavor and variety. Also adding ice in the blender helped by giving me something to chew.
I got headaches in the beginning and you need to drink more Water to help flush toxins etc...from your system.
Be prepared to get up frequently to use the bathroom.
If I got hungry I had something...i was allowed Jello and SF popsicles.
Keep at it. Stay focused. I kept repeating better liver better surgery as my Dr said shrinking the liver was a big part of this pre op diet.

And when you need us...check in.

This was very helpful thank you! Unfortunately jello makes me absolutely sick... I think it's a texture problem. But thank you for that cinnamon idea and blender.. I never thought of that!
