 Hello everyone i start my liquid diet on 9/9 surgery on 9/16. What can i expect while on the liquid diet? and is their any advice you might have for me?

You can expect to be a total crabby jerkface for the first couple of days.  Seriously, depending on how much your diet is going to change, you might go through some carb and/or sugar withdrawl.  Your body will be rebelling.  But it will pass.  You will be ok.  I promise.

Make sure you have a variety of liquid stuff.  This is assuming that your surgeon doesn't have you on some kind of plan.  If you are choosing your own liquids, make sure you have some sweet, savory, hot and cold.  You will get so tired of the same thing all the time.

Have stuff to do to keep your mind occupied so you aren't thinking about what you wish you were chewing on.

Your surgery is on my son's birthday.....a super lucky day!!!

Grin and bear it.  I drank protein shakes made from protein powder and didn't have any trouble.  They kept me filled and satisfied.  I also used sf jello for something sweet and crystal light to get alot of fluids in.  Good luck.  My niece's birthday is the 16th too.
