Hi all,

I am in day 2 of my pre-op clear liquid diet.  I'm ready to tackle the next person I see with food and take it.  How did all of you get through you liquid diet, what did you drink that was good and that helped with hunger?  What did you all do for a lunch at work?

I really admire any of you that had to go through a week or more of a liquid diet and did not cheat.  I only have to do five days and I am going nuts.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I did two weeks of clear liquids post-op.  I found snow cones to be very helpful.  Most places will have sugar free flavors.  I ate sugar free jello for lunch.  The clear liquid diet may be easier post-op than pre-op, but these are a couple of items that helped me.  Good luck.

I was lucky enough to not have to work while doing my pre-op liquid diet. So once I got the kids on the bus I didn't have to worry about being around food til they got home. Plus, I could have a SMALL, plain side salad with them for dinner. That helped soo much!

Good luck sweety! Just keep posting here when the urge hits you!!

I can empathize with you.  Really I thought the first two days were the worst!  Day 3 I was telling myself that I only had one more day to go and then I was having surgery.  It did help that my husband did the last two days of liquids with me and I didn't cook.  My first two days of liquid I took vacation time because I knew smelling other peoples food would drive me nuts and I WOULD kill someone.  The sugar free popscicles seemed to help.
