3rd Day Liquid Pre-Op Diet - Going Good...But

So Monday I started my two week liquid diet, I am actually doing well with it, but this week so far has been a bit of torture at work. There is an audit this week so everyday they have lunch brought into the boardroom right next to my office...ugg....so I figure it like this...if I can make it through this I should be able do just fine my pre-op diet.....looking forward to the future and I am just stubborn enough to stick to it!!! Whew thanks, I needed to vent a little about all the food surrounding me this week.

At home, hubby is being great, he hasn't been having me make dinner, he is eating before I get home from work (he gets home a couple of hours before me). I didn't ask him to do this, he just said hey don't worry about me you just take care of yourself right now...What a sweetie...30 years together and he is still very considerate.....

Glad to hear you're doing well with the liquid diet; I start my 2 weeks of liquids Monday.  It looks like you are having your surgery a week before me!

Hubby sounds like a total sweetheart; it's nice to hear about these awesome hubbies who give such great support.  That just helps ensure your success even more!  Kudos to hubby!!!

I started my two week liquid diet today and I'm doing okay.  I am hungry but it's not as bad as I thought.   The exception is my husband keeps calling and telling me what he had for lunch, what do I want for supper and what are we going to eat for Mother's Day?? We had already discussed grilling out for my Mom at her house (she has a pool) and spending the day with her. I will just take my stuff and eat what I can.   It is frustrating that he can't seem to remember that I'm on a liquid diet!!  lol  I told him to be careful in the next couple of days I may become an ill pill.....and that I probably won't be able to have dinner with them....I'm thinking i'll just go to my bedroom and have my shake.   I don't know if it's good I'm not working right now..atleast I'd keep my mind off of not eating or being home and wanting to raid the fridge.....so I should get up and start cleaning for when I will incapasitated for a couple weeks.     Good Luck!!!  

 I am on Day 10 of the two-week liquid diet. My surgery is scheduled for May 14. (4 days to go!) My first three days were very tough for me being a diabetic. By day three I felt sick to my stomach and had such a headache. Mostly from caffeine withdrawal as I stopped all caffeine a couple days prior to starting the diet. I felt better after another day or two. Our bodies are going through a type of detox because we are used to eating large amounts of food and now to go down to just liquids it's screaming at us.

I have my ups and downs and sometimes I think I feel very hungry but I know it's all in my mind. Other days I do just fine. I am really proud of myself though. This past Sunday I was at my nephew's birthday party/cookout. While everyone else was eating ribs, chicken, hot dogs and hamburgers and all the other yummy stuff, I sat with everyone and ate my soup and protein fruit drink. The food did look yummy but I didn't want to ruin what I've started. I just keep reminding myself why I am doing this and that down the road I am going to look and feel so much better.
