Topic: RE: pre op liquid diet
You are lucky to be on the liquid diet for only 3 days--mine is 2 weeks and I am in day 6--surgery is 12-18---why are there so many different restrictions for so many doctors on the same procedure? Is it the size of your liver----the only thing to that is that EVERYONE at my center has to do the 2 week diet--I get-2 shakes a day and 3oz of chicken breast and 1/2 c green veggie! I have found Powerade Zero Grape flavor that has been a Godsend to stop hunger. Headache stopped after 3rd day---and that was from caffeine too---I was a Pepsi acoholic!! Sorry for the rambling--but stressing as the date nears and the holidays near. Connie

Luckily I only have 2 weeks don't think I could do it longer.
It's amazing how different everybodies liquid diets are. I can have yogurt, soups(strained and pureed), cream of wheat (runny), jello, popsicles, pudding, broth etc... They never enfasized me getting in my shakes right now. Just told me to take my multivitamin if I had it yet. I did a mix of protien powder with yogurt yesterday, wasn't to bad. Have to stick with things that are vanilla or go with it cause I couldn't find the unflavored in the store.
I have read some people can do lean quizine once a day as long as they have 4 shakes a day. That I think I could handle. Just the feeling of being "empty" is bothering me. Usually when I get like that my sugar is dropping. So I am constantly checking.
I hope yours goes well. I will be alright I know I am moving into a better phase so that gets me thru. I have been very moody tho. Love my family so much more for dealing with me:) lol

As I see here, my surg is going to the extreme! I am starting a totally liquid diet this Friday---so 2 and 1/2 weeks long!!!!!!!!
shakes and broth only!
At least I do not have to worry with diabetes.....that would be so hard!
and yes, I wonder why they think we can do this when we NEVER could ever do this before!

My family lives in Northern KY and Cincy.
I am sure there would have to be something horrible that shows up in the EGD before you would be stopped now, I have been waiting 1 year. I was scheduled with 1 surgeon, then he left the hospital. I had to get re scheduled with another one..I am hoping this will go this time!!!

Yes, I started my liquid diet 12/08. It is so hard!!! I am hungry, If I wanted this kind of diet it would have succeeded the hundreds of times I tried it before. But... I know its leading to better things so I am sticking with it. I am just afraid my sugars will bottom out. I am diabetic, but will be calling in my #'s every few days to make sure I am not taking to much insulin. I have constant heartburn now too. yuck!
I'll make it tho.
When do you start your diet? Did they tell you that you can have soups?
Merry Christmas
