Ok so I start my clear liquid diet tomorrow 5 days before my surgery and I am starting to get nervous about this.  Any tips on how to get through this?  Maybe it won't be as difficult as I think but what happens if it is worse? 

I know it is the fear talking but I am also wondering if after going through all of this if it will work.  Help calm me down and give me any insight you may have.    Thanks

The first few days are the worst. Just make sure that you get a variety to make it interesting. I found different broths at the health food store that were tasty & enjoyable. Also, I used additives to the broth like lemon etc to change up the taste. Good luck!

Being fearful is normal.  My advice is to remember the reason you decided to choose the sleeve in the first place and being certain that you tried everything else - this will help you through the anxiety.  I also asked myself what else could I try within my reach and I couldn't come up with anything else - this helped me to be certain of my choice.
