I'm on my 3rd day of my liquid diet, I only have to do a week, and I'm doing surprisingly well! I was nervous at first too, but I think as long as you have the right mindset you'll be fine. The first day my blood sugar was all over the place, I'm borderline diabetic, but now it's back to normal. I was also tired at first too and a little dizzy, but today all that seems to be better. The only issue I've had is I think I'm lactose intolerant. After 48oz of milk I became very sick! I'm supposed to have 6 shakes a day. I used to drink milk before, but never like this obviously. I've switched to lactaid, but still not 100%. I may try soy or almond next if it doesn't get better. I have lost a couple of lbs already so that's a good motivator too. Just realizing that every lb lost will help my surgeon really pushes me. I haven't worked out, but plan on walking today since my energy is up and sugar is stable.

My surgery is june 15th. I start my liquids on June 1st. I am so nervous...so afraid I can't do it...but I know I can.

I am all prepared. I have my protein powder, banana cream, strawberry, vanilla and cookies n' cream...all to be mixed with skim milk.

I have my surger free popsicles and jello, crystal light and water of course....


Some of you are talking about protein bars...I don't think ym diet allows for those...it's not liquid!


Please tell me hoe you have or are working through your liquid diet...and is anyone able to work out during thi- I am afraid I will have no energy

June 1st for me. My doc doeesn't require the liquid diet and I kinda wish he had because I am struggling to lose the 10pds he asked for. I guess the grass is always greener....

I am weighing in tomorrow and still need another 2 pounds...we will see. Only liquids for me today :)

So...what is everyone bringing to the hospital and buying for the first 2 weeks home. I am trying to create a list and feeling like I am missing stuff...

thoughts?
