2 week liquid diet?!?

Hey- I was just wondering how long you all had to do the clear liquid diet before surgery.. My surgeon has me doing it for two weeks, and it has been rough so far. ~Katrina

Two wks. also!!!! Very hard to do but made it. I am now 3 months post-op. lap band surgery. janice

I am on the 2nd day of my 2 weeks of liquids.... Good luck! I am here on the computer with a growling tummy trying to drink enough water to drown it...lol.. Shellie

I have to start my 2 weeks on August 11th. Honestly, this is the scariest part for me. I know I can do it after my stomach is altered, but doing it with my regular stomach is going to be tough! Good luck to you!! You can do it!! jacie

Katrina, My surgeon had me on it for 10 days. It was a killer and I was *****y! Good luck. It will be so worth it! Lori 384/235.5/199

I am on day #4 of a 2 week +2 day liquid diet. I sucked the beginning 2 days. I cried and was angry because I was not expecting it! I think the hardest part for me is the protein drinks. I like Atkins Advantage, but the protein powder? Ewww eeeee! I guess it is an acquired taste. Good luck! I am sure it will all be worth it when we have a great recovery

I am on day 6 of the 2 week liquid diet. Ugh! I have been *****y and find it hard to concentrate. But it for a good end re**** I will be better off in surgury and hopefully better off afterwards. Good luck!

Has anyone been told not to chew sugarless gum during the 2 week liquid diet? It is all that helps me get through the day sometimes...bad huh?
