Liquid diet and upcoming surgery

 I am on my 3 day of my liquid diet and doing really good lost 1.5 lbs so far not much but better then nothing;)
Only 3 more days till surgery super excited and nervous just hope my pre ops on Monday are good so surgery won't be rescheduled .. I stoped smoking as well about 2 weeks ago and I am doing good on that too just thought I empty my mind a lil :) hope you all have a great weekend 

Sounds like you're doing great. If you get shaky from lack of food, have something high protein and low carb..like a hard boiled egg or luncheon meat. Stay busy! :)

 I got a lil shaky yesterday and eat some ice cream not the best  I know but had to get the blood sugar a lil up. But doing good today I eat 1soup a day and jellos and v8 juice .

Excellent!  

Can you have protein?  A protein drink would give you some energy and you wouldn't feel so drained and shaky.  I only had to do clear liquids the day before surgery and I thought I was going to starve until around 3pm, then it went away and I was fine.  Do drink lots before  until whatever time they say to stop.  Broth is actually one of the best things because it gives you sodium.  You want to be extra hydrated before surgery.  You will have an easier time with the IV.  Don't worry how much you lose not, it will be falling off you soon enough. 

 I did drink 1 protein drink a day ;)

Good luck with your liquid diet.  It was tough for me.  I had to do 1 1/2 weeks.  3 shakes and 1 lite meal or 4 shakes.  The day before surgery was clear liquid only.

I had to add mix my shakes with milk and added some fruit I just got really shaky feeling and my blood sugar was dropping. 

You are almost there.  Congratulations on the stopping smoking!!  I know how hard that is.
