Week 2 of Liquid Diet

I no longer feel like cheating on my pre-op liquid diet. These last three days have been a cake walk. I guess my tummy is getting used to starvation mode - lol. I am only "eating" about 1000 calories and 80 g of protein. I have lost 8 pounds in 8 days. Hopefully my liver is shrinking. I am so proud if myself that I have not cheated especially for those first 5 days.

Thank you for the support you have given me.

Congratulations on doing so well!  It will really help in the end.  Just being as safe as you can during surgery is worth the effort. 

Congratts kiddo!!! Keep up the awesome work, it will pay off in the end!!!

 I have not had surgery yet but I have seen the 2 week diet.  They told us in our meeting to tell the family to stay clear those two weeks because it is tough.  I have been trying to drink a protein shake in the morning and a soup for dinner so I can start shrinking my stomach for the pre-op diet.

One thing that really helped is that my husband took over making meals for the kids when he is not working. I did get grumpy with my family and really really thought I was going to cheat but the bigger picture is so much more worth it than having to extend this diet any more than the two weeks.

Good luck to you.
