Surgery 5/26/2010 liquid diet...
you are totally liquid? my dr said to just eat protein, tuna, chicken, etc, the liquid will be after. I am not having a hard time today, i thought about food a little but I got over it, I think I just get a little thought of food then bam! I make it happen, its time to just let those thoughts be thoughts, great job on the diet, my dr changed my date to wed and I wasnt supposed to start my 2 week diet til tues so if that happens to you, then you will be all ready.
All I can say is THANK GOD FOR FUDGESICLES!!!!!!! My doc had them on pre op liquid diet as well as post op so when I get that urge to chew, I have a fudgesicle. My only bad has been when I get veggie soup, I test the carrots and if they are almost mush, I go ahead and turn them to mush in my mouth and swallow with the liquid. Not perfect, but works for me so far.
I don't have to do a liquid diet but I am suppose to lose 10 lbs before the surgery. I constantly lost weight until last week when I gained 3 lbs so I'm trying to step things up and cut way back on the carbs and stop indulging on the weekends. I'm so scared that they will have to covert from a lap to open because my liver is too big.
