protein before surgery

I am going to be starting my liquid protein diet in 9 days I am excited because I know I will be that much closer to my surgery but I am wondering if it is going to be really hard if I will go nuts wanting food I am really excited to be a loser it is all I dream about everynight (makes me toss and turn alot) but still I am nervous about starting the liquid protein diet before does anyone have any tips to make it seem easy and not think about wanting actual food? any input would be greatly appreciated Cindy

cindy...i am afraid that i will be no help--my liquid protein days were yearsssssssssss ago with a diff kind--i am sure that chewing will be something that you will miss-how are your fingernails??*s* i do offer a word of caution to you tho--be sure to drink plenty of water--when you think maybe you want to eat or chew-drink some water-when you walk by the sink drink some water when you sit at your computer drink some water-you get the idea! increases of protein can do damage to kidneys if not flushed thru--i am NOT saying that your liquid diet is a bad thing-just be sure to flush...those kidneys!!!!! i would hope that some others who have done this diet will help you with other words of advice!!!!! best of luck to ya!!!!!!

Margo we miss you too. Are you back on as a regular I hope.

Hi Cindy, The biggest question for me before I had surgery was,Can I ever eat again???After the surgery it was, Do I have to eat???? Its amazing how it works but it does. Its all good. Love, CIndy
