Lightheaded and ready to pass out
Is this a diet recommended by your doctor or a registered dietician? What is the point of a liquid diet that high in calories? If you're feeling ill on the diet, I'd contact your doctor or dietician to ask for advice.
You should not be required to tell people work any details about why you need time off. You should be able to just say it's for a medical appointment. Do you qualify for FMLA? If so, that should allow you time off for surgery as well as for related appointments.

You have received a lot of supportive ANSWERS AND QUESTIONS. It would benefit you more if you would bother to respond to the questions. People are trying to offer support to you in your very UNIQUE situation.

Sorry for the late reply. I was using Special K protein drinks which have a lot of carbs in them. The high calorie intake is from cheating and no****ching what I am doing. I have stopped the liquid diet for the next few days, because I have to start my official mandatory supervised diet program on Monday when attend my first MOVE! diet program meeting.
My depression is better now with the change in my diet. I am doing 1 meal with a protein shake, snacks are protein shakes, regular lunch, and regular dinner, no soda, no sugar drinks drinking water (which I hate).

Glad you responded. No matter how fast we want things to happen, follow your doctor/nutritionist instructions.
Let us know how your meeting goes.
