Clear liquid diet pre-op...

[Lloyd Goldson 1]

Requesting assistance from any former pre-op clear liquid victims. Its much harder than it would appear. Currently subsisting on suger-free Jello, chicken and beef broth and Water. Any tips appreciated. It's a long time til morning

Are you saying you're just having to do a single day of a liquid diet before your surgery? Cause if so then my tip is to say suck it up buttercup. Most of us had to do two weeks of this crap.

lol...okay. I thought you were trying to survive a single day of it. I was always jealous of those that had a doc that didn't require the full two weeks. It's a rough patch to go through for sure.

Well, it is hard to be sure. And yeah, it is mostly a suck it up buttercup experience. 2 days goes by so quickly!

It helps tremendously that you are so far out into liquids that you won't be very hungry, and to keep your focus on the upcoming thrill of finally getting to have surgery.

Eat about every 3 hours with liquids: Herb Ox broth packages, sf orange Jello, sf popsicle, and for dinner maybe do a Premier Protein Clear drink if that's allowed?

It will go by so quickly!
