How is everyone doing on the liquid diets??????

Hi - I was just wondering how everyone was doing on their liquid diets - it's about 1 week from today that some of us will be having our surgeries - Jan. 8th !!! Hope you are all doing great.....anyone starting to get nervous?? I'm keeping up a really brave front. Marta

Hiyas Marta, I haven't been told to go on a liquid diet yet. I have my pre-op visit on the 18th and they may tell me then. I go on the 24th. They just told me not to eat anything after midnight. I wondered if it is because I have already been trying to loose weight....not sure though. Glad you are holding up. Please be sure to let us know you made it okay. I can post for you if you like. Just have a family member call me and leave a message. Or just post when you get home. Anna Bryant 540-265-0453

My doctor didn't put me on a liquid diet. I just have to show up on the 8th at 10am to for anesthesiology and surgery is scheduled at 12pm. I just was told to fast starting at 12am. Sooo, this Saturday on the 6th, I'm going to have a "last supper" with my friends. Either way, i'm getting nervous!!!!! BIG TIME.

I start my liquid diet on Jan 1st. I am sitting here drinking my diet pop right now. I also enjoyed the wonderful salad bar at Ruby Tuesday's, along with a couple appitizers. The manager knows I am a regular customer, so I informed her this was my last big meal. I told her I would be back when I could but I would be taking most of my food home for left overs. I also went to Sam's and bought me some Tylenol. I am prepared for a big head ache without my food and diet pop I am giving up tomorrow. Good luck on your surgery. Mine is Jan 15th.

Don't know yet about the liquid diet soon will find out i also will be having surgery on jan.8 good luck to u and hope all is well.:-)

I have done pretty good on the liquid diet...for the next 4 days it will be nothing but liquids! This is a promise that I have made to myself and I have to keep in mind it is to help shrink the liver....Good Luck Gals, we can do it~!~

No liquid diet for me. I've just been cutting back on carbs and drinking more water.

I have my preop visit on this Wed 1-3-07 I have an outpatient procedure on 1-5-07 to put in a filter My big surgery is 1-16-07 The last I heard from my surgeon, I was not to gain any weight. I'll just be required to have clear liquids for 24 hours before surgery. I assume that'll be for both. I'll hear more on Wed. So far, I've been on a low fat low carb diet for a couple/few years now. I stopped losing on it long ago after losing about 50 lbs. Right now, I'm trying to substitute 2 meals a day with a protein shake or a couple hard boiled eggs. I've got 2 extra lbs I don't want the surgeon to see on Wednesday! I've been off diet colas for about 6 months, I can't remember. That was the biggest hurdle for me. I am so proud of that accomplishment. Good idea for a thread!

Well I've been on a preop liquid diet since December 27th, 2006...and I'm having a hard time ... I have to lose 14 pounds or my surgeon will not perform the surgey... So I keep reminding myself that when I feel weak... I love bread and what I wouldn't give for a piece of corn bread right now... it's funny before the preop diet I would have never craved corn bread... I go back on the 9th of January and will be weighed in then.. keep your fingers crossed for me please!!!!

I am really having a challenge with it! I have been on all liquids since December 26! I have lost 12 pounds but I am getting so sick of sweet milky chalky meals. I can't have anything but 4 of these drinks a day. I can't even add any peanut butter or fruit. I have been starving everyday since this began. I have heard that this is the hardest part. I actually think this may be a blessing in disguise because it is getting me prepared for the shock. I have laready gone through the liquid diet depression!
