Day 2 clear liquid diet
on 11/20/14 8:09 pm - RIVERDALE, NJ
Some one please tell me this gets easier? Im on day 2 of full liquids and I dont know if I can do this for another 13 days. After the surgery I'm hoping I wont be starving like I am now. This sugar free carb free protein is gross. I think after this ill never want jello soup or popsicles again....ughhhh help!
Which brands of protein powder are you using? I have always been partial to Jay Robb Whey Protein powder. It is not a meal replacement powder, though. I never cared for Premier Protein products, though the Syntax Nectars are generally pretty good. I also like Unjury chicken broth, since my tastes have always tended to be more savory rather than sweet.
I'm on day five of my liquid pre-op diet. I feel great today. I am not hungry at all this morning, and all I had was eight oz. of water mixed with the Syntrax Roadside Lemonade protein. The first few days I thought I was going to die-- I was so hungry! If you can have some chicken broth, I would suggest sipping on cup or two of that throughout the day. It took my headache away! Keep up with it! You can do it! Think of all the great things we have in store for us. My doctor is making me do the pre-op diet for three weeks! So at least you only have to do it for two weeks! You'll do great. You got this!
The first 3-4 days suck. It gets easier, and it's worth doing.

It does get easier but boy, it was so hard! I hated popsicles and jello, too. What saved me was Swanson's Mexican Tortilla broth. It tasted savory and like a real meal to me. I must have drank one a day for a while. However you get through, I swear it's worth it. You've got this friend!
