3rd. day of all Liquids :(

Hi Everyone, I'm in my 3rd. day of all liquid Diet. My Surgery is May 12 and I will be on this diet for 6 weeks. I need your prayers to stay on it. So far I've been OK. Not hungry at all. I do know what a underfilled Waterbed feels like . I swear I slosh when I walk Jean

hi jean, i'm not required to be on all liquids before my 5/13 surgery but i think i may try a few days of instant breakfast next week anyway; i know it can be good for a person preop. don't loose too much, though, or you might not qualify anymore.................lol. gail

Hi Jean, My surgery is May 6th and I am on the second day of all liquids. Although the liquids in my case can be pudding or yogart or even milk shakes. Pureed cream soups are ok too. Even though, I too am struggling with this. I left work early and wanted to go to Curves. I came home and took an hour nap. My energy is really low. I did go to Curves but I didn't do the workout as hard as I usually do. I hope to get at least two more workouts in before my surgery. The weather here in Jersey is at last springlike so that is a real encouragement. I keep telling myself, by this time next week, I will have crossed over. Then I tell myself, by this time next month, I'll be ready to move on and maybe even be close to one of my goals. So try it, it may help you too. I'll keep you in my prayers. God Bless you! Sherri

Hi Jean... my surgery date is May 24th. I wish you all the luck in the world. I only have to do 1 day of liquids... but I am trying to quit soda... it has to be close to just as bad. GOOD LUCK! Melissa

Jean, I did 3 days of full liquids.... but I plan on eating out tomorrow and will start a clear liquid diet tomorrow afternoon. Will have to let you know how things are after that.

I don't have to do a liquid diet before surgery. I just have to do a week of clear liquids and then five more weeks of a liquid diet, which can include smoothies made at home and cream soup. He did want me to quit drinking soda and start walking now.

Hi Jean, I start my liquids Mon.!! You will probably see me on here a whole lot. I'll be trying to stay busy LOL!! That will be quite a challenge!!! I will be on liquids for two weeks after,I guess I'm lucky!! I'll keep you in my prayers,I'm countig down the days only 9 left woo-hoo!! Sonya

Hi Jean It sounds like every surgeon is different. I just saw the dietician yesterday and she said clear liquids 3 days prior and then that yuky carbonate soda stuff (2 bottles) I guess he really wants me cleaned out! Post surgery he wants me on clear liquids for a week and then move to liquids till my post op appt with him. Hang in there, though! There are a lot of us praying for you Best of Luck! Luanne

Hi Jean! I have to do clear liquids the day before surgery, but that's all. However, since my surgery is 54, I'll be doing my post-op 1 week of clear liquids AND my second week of full liquids right along with you! Just e-mail if you need some support! mpf
