My doc wants me on a liquid diet 10 days before surgery. I have been on it for 3 days now. Sat. and Sun. I did really well, but today I am struggling. I have not cheated on the diet but my mouth is watering and I have been talking myself out of going to McDonalds for the past 2 hours. Is there anyone else going through this?

Hi Maria. Be strong and stick to the diet. I have not had to go through this but I realize that it's got to be extremely hard. The doctor is just making sure he can keep you safer. I have heard from different people that they were put on liquids several days in advance. The doctor is trying to get rid of some of the fatty tissue and water in and around the liver. You're gonna do great, just keep looking for support either at home or on this web. Just think, by next week you will be on the losing side. I go on Wednesday and I am excited, nervous and afraid. I keep thinking of all the good things that will come out of this. We are going to feel alot better soon. You keep up the good work on sticking to it. FORGET McDonalds. I send you an to watch over you. My God hold you in His arms and guide your sergons hands. Have a speedy recovery and a healthy new life. Keep us posted and if you need to talk just feel free to get in touch. Have a good night, take a and go to Talk to you later. Cathy D

My surgery is April 8th and I have been on a liquid diet since March 18, so I know how you feel. The cravings will pass; some days are worst than others. Yesterday I wanted a cheeseburger (Bad) but today things are all good. Stay strong, Carla
