Positive things about pre op liquid diet

I've tried to come up with a couple of positive things about this 15 day pre-op liquid diet.  Perhaps I'm just getting rummy in day 8, but there are some good aspects.

1.  I save 4-5 minutes a day by not having to floss my teeth
2.  My grocery bill has been cut in half... well maybe not if you consider all the protein and supplements I've purchased recently
3.  There are fewer dishes to wash
4.  Figuring out what to have for lunch or dinner is a no brainer
5.  I get to be a little *****y, then can blame it on no food

Just random thoughts.. or ravings of a mad woman, not sure which...

I found some great flavor broths that I'm looking forward to trying.
I'm also looking forward to not having to plan out a dinner!

love your post. I'm on day 3 of liquid diet and  I was just thinking this morning how amazing the time savings are because I don't have to decide anything!  Plus, I'm saving like $6 bucks at starbucks everymorning...  Good luck to you!!

Day one for me today on the pre-op diet. I did have some saltines with my strained cream of soup. Thanks for helping us look at the brighter side of this. Good Luck to all!!

I am on day 6 of mine.  I am ready to start chewing on my arm.  I'm Hungry

BUT I will say that this diet has renewed my excitement about everything.   I was starting to doubt whether or not this was a good idea for me.  I've dropped 10 lbs and I know now that I can comply 100% with the rules!!!!!!    yee haw!

Thanks for sharing your brighter side :] That's too funny - but I do agree with all of them.

I'm on day #6 of my pre-op liquid diet & experienced your "#5 positive thing" this morning. As soon as I start to complain - my reasoning is "I haven't been eating, give me a break." It's always nice to have an excuse!
