Kakes-daddy 14 Posted February 17, 2018 I’m glad to read that I’m not the only one to struggle with the liquid diet. My dr. Has a pretty strict 30 day plan for all patients and it’s tough! I cheated last night with steak N’ eggs and it was worth it I’ve been starving all week. My question does anyone’s doctor allow eggs on their liquid diet? Mine doesn’t Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sleeve1stFitNext 924 Posted February 17, 2018 I believe I was only allowed to have non-starchy vegetables and Protein Shakes. Mines was soo hard and I only had to do it for 14 days. I wish you the best of luck. I ate soo many pickles and cucumbers during that time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My question does anyone’s doctor allow eggs on their liquid diet? Mine doesn’t I have never heard of eggs being a part of a liquid diet. In fact, I couldn't have eggs until 4 weeks post-op. I know how hard the liquid portions of the diet are. You know that you will have a significant period of liquids only post-op. The difference is if you "cheat" it can become a life and death situation. 30 days pre-op is a really long time for liquids. I have never heard of anything so drastic. That has to be physically and emotionally demanding. I would suggest two things: First, tell your surgeon what you have done. If you trust someone to cut into you, he or she should know the entire accurate picture of your current situation. Second, move on and try harder to be compliant moving forward. Your surgeon has you doing this for a reason. This journey is hard -- very hard. If you want to be successful long term, you have to commit to doing what you need to do. And this is extra important when your life (yes, your life) can depend on these good decisions post-op. Good luck! 1 Sleeve1stFitNext reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bunny421 0 Posted February 17, 2018 I too have a 4 week liquid diet from my surgeon and it’s really tough! I’ve seen so many others say they have 2 week or even 1 week pre op so I’m not sure why 4 weeks is necessary. I’m struggling right there with you! I’ve been so hungry, getting headaches, etc. I just want the surgery date to come!! Mine is on March 15! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
