Liquid diet woes

[lvice0910]

Hello! I’m having gastric sleeve surgery in 8 days and I am really struggling with the preop liquid diet. This is day two and I know I shouldn’t be complaining on day two but I am just miserable. Does anyone have tips on how to get through it? I should mention that I’m a teacher on summer break and I’m stuck at home per doctor’s orders. Anything will help at this point. I’m really dreading the next 8 days and I’m scared I won’t be able to get through it.

Let me start by saying the pre-op liquid diet clear liquid diet sucks it just does but it preps you and it's prepping your body. Sugar-free popsicles they're actually pretty good chicken broth get a good one if you're near a Trader Joe's Trader Joe's low sodium chicken broth is really good it taste like chicken.

There is no way around it but the pre-op diet does suck (i had to do it for 14 days). I took it day by day and looked forward to my two popsicles per day and jello for treats......i had found a protein drink that i liked (Premier Protein) and that was probably my saving grace. Try to keep your eye on the prize........you really do need to follow as instructed for your own safety.....Good Luck...
