Liquid Diet
Well I start my two week liquid diet today. If anyone has any sugestions on surviving this let me know. LOL (I am sure I will be fine although a tad bit grumpy from withdrawal) Does anyone know if I am supposed to be within a calorie range for this I have looked in my binder from EMMC and I can't find anything. I am so excited to finally be on my way. The count down begins!!!!

just follow the diet in the notebook.
You won't be counting calories. After surgery you will count proteins, eating low fat, low sugar.
Yup- I hear you with the grumpies. Day 2 was my awful one. Then is was smooth sailing afterwards. Hang in there.
Things that helped me get by were Unjury Chicken soup, the healthy request soups ( you don't have to strain them pre-op- Dayna told me this one) and protein puddings.

Hey there! I know you can do it! I just saw Dr. Toder today and have been cleared for surgery in May finally after a small bump in the road- i had gained weight and she almost didn't let me go ahead in the program.
when are you going in? I'm so excited for you- please keep in touch and let me and everyone know how it goes!

Thats awesome. You should come to the local support group . (Though you probably have class) It meets at 10 at the 3 Dogs cafe in Rockport on the first Saturday of each month. We have about ten people show up. Lots of info sharing. I am doing good. I have made it through day 2 of the liquid diet. It sucks but I will survive. I am doing well so far with no cheating. I go in March 12th. I can't wait. Keep in touch!!! Tracy

Tracy, I did a lot of popsicles, sugar free jello and lipton cup of soups, the cream of chicken.
I will tell you one thing ...after about 10 days you will notice a terrible taste in your mouth..it's kind of metalic tasting...this is your liver burning off ketones...it's normal but it had me freaking out. It's a disgusting taste and you will have it for about a month or more after the surgery too. Hang in there, it will go away. Good luck to you and I will be thinking about you March 12th!

I am glad you mentioned the taste in your mouth. I too have it. It's gross. I have tried some sugarfree tic tacs but they do not help. I have brushed my teeth much more than usual also. I was able to get in contact with the NUT and she okayd the black bean soup for this week but prefers not to have it next week because of the sodium and bean skins. I ordered some black bean bisque from Hannaford so hopefully that will come in soon. I hope to see you Saturday. Thanks for the input. Tracy
