ShellShock 0 Posted September 21, 2008 My liquid diet is okay but it is hard. I can only have clear broths and Protein Shakes. I am not hungry but more week and have a constant headache if I don't cheat and have some caffeine. I know I won't be able to have diet soda after surgery but it is keeping me headache free for now.

knightfl 0 Posted September 23, 2008 I'm the 30th in Lake Worth, FL. Dr. Larson. Staff and Doctor are very, very good. I wanted to do this quickly and they have really helped. I had my first appointment on Sept. 17th and we have moved rapidly. I see the nutritionist and hospital pre-op on Thursday and that's it. But I am not on a liquid diet. What is it? I have been eating everything and I need to get on a plan to get ready. Your help is appreciated. Thanks :wub: :confused: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
