Two Week Liquid
I am not happy about the 2 week liquid diet. Today was my first day and boy am I grumpy!! My stomach is in knots all I want to do is eat regular food, I know that I have to do this but it is HARD!! I am drinking the protien drinks and I am eating jello, and boy is chicken broth gross lol I cant wait for these two weeks to be OVER... I dont know what else I can eat but Jello Broth and my shakes anything else??
Are you on full or clear liquids? I had to eat vegetable broth because the thought of chicken broth just makes me ill. They let me have SF Italian Ices or Popsicles, which was like heaven compared to broth..lol. You can pretty much do any soup pureed if you are on full liquids...I had potato post-op and that was good.
Sorry I can't be of more help, just stay strong it's only temporary!

I know its hard, but hang in there this is the worse part of all the proccess, then u wont want any food !! for a while lol.
i just had 2 protein shakes a day n a small piece of chicken for lunch n that was it , no pop cycles, no jello :(,
I had my surgery away from home so i remeber i didnt eat like for 2 days cuz i dont like the caned protein shakes like slim fast n stuff, i made my own at home with some milk n the protein mix. so i rather to starve than drink that crap hahaha. not good! i know.
stay positive like u are now! that's what helps the most!
good luck!!
yay just 2 more weeks!!!

I was having a really hard time the first two days no I am one day 4 and it does get easier; my hardest thing is the protien I cant get it all down I am on 6 8 oz shakes a day and yesterday I got in 3 but I was really busy all day. I know I have to do better with that but its tough. I feel hunger but it isnt as bad and i can ignore it easier. i was even able to make dinner for my fiance and it didnt even bother me.
so i am hanging in there thanks for all the support

The first 3 days were the worst... trust me it will get better. Many people, myself included, got a hyper-sense of smell after the first few days... everything smells strong and food smells yuck... I remember somebody eating fast food and I almost yakked at the smell! Crazy how your body 'adapts'... the first weekend was also hard, easier to stick when you are in a more normal routine. Either way.. keep your eye on the prize, its only 2 weeks for a surgery that will change the rest of your life.
