Finally getting closer

Yesterday I started the 3-week liquid diet leading up to surgery.  I've been both dreading this and looking forward to it as it means things are actually getting closer.  At one day I'm already looking at my DHs bowl of cereal enviously.  I know I can make it because so many others have done it, but this is going to be a long 3 weeks!

Wow - 3 weeks IS a long time.  Just keep your eye to the prize.  It will all be worthit in the end.

Get creative with your liquids and that may help the boredom of the diet.  The first 3 days are the hardest... you can do it!!

Congratulations on your date!

You can do it.  I did 4 weeks of liquid with one small food meal a day.  The first days are the hardest.  It will also help you through the weeks of liquid after surgery.  Hugs and come here when you need to vent.

 Thanks for the support.  :)   I'll be searching the forum for tips on how to spice up the soups and protein drinks.  I can do this!
