Finishing day 7 of 21 day liquid diet!

Day 7 of pre-surgery liquid diet.  Surprisingly its not been too hard.  Will probably hate it Christmas eve when the family is eating our traditional King Crab feast!  14 days to go, I can make it!

How do you feel? Have you lost any weight on the liquid diet so far? (I think you will do fine you got this they say the first week is the hardest and you already did 7 days wohooo :) !! Im getting ready to start  my liquid diet as well )

I am amazed to say I feel good.  I have lost 10 pounds so far.  I had cut down on calories before starting and I know that helped.   I have broth once or twice a day and I've have had some sugar free jello, the protein shakes 5 or 6 times a day depending on the calorie count.  Staying between 700-1000 calories.  Still can't drink enough water/crystal light. Good luck on your journey, Almita!

You can do it, it sounds like you have figured it out! I started my pre-op liquid diet over Thanksgiving, which my husband and I had 2 weeks earlier. It is a difficult time, the holidays that is, to do this, but just think: this time next year you'll be so much slimmer, healthier and should be back to "normal"!!! And you can sample the goodies, within reason, and be so much better off. You should be proud of yourself for your diligence and hard work, I am!

Merry Christmas - what a gift to yourself!!!

Merry Merry Christmas to you as well.  Looking forward to the future!  If we can get through the "food holidays" we can get through anything!

Good for you Debbie....The pre-op diet truly helps reduce the fat on your liver.  And that's so much better for the Dr.s when they have to go in.  Like you, I was on the 21 day as well.  Dr. told me the day after my surgery that my liver was totally devoid of fat.  I'm 7 days post-op and feeling really good.  Good luck to you and YES you can make it!  Kim

Thank you Kim.  It is certainly worth it.  Glad you are doing well day 7!  

My pre-op liquid diet will be 4 weeks (ugh).  I keep reading that part is the worst, but I have hope given your positive attitude.  I'm sure you set yourself up for success too in that you were already reducing calories, etc.  Congrats!!  You can do this!

Debbie, I got tired of the broth and so I went out and bought all my favorite Progresso soups and just strained all the vegetables, chicken and noodles. I wanted taste and it really tastes much better. Also don't forget sugar free popsickles and fudgesicles. Good luck. Christine
