Thankful for 2 week pre-op liquid diet
I'm into my 4th day of my 2 week pre-op liquid diet, and I've decided I'm really glad I'm having to do this. All my life I have lived to eat and this diet is teaching me to eat to live. It's giving me time before the actual surgery to get used to being disciplined in my eating and drinking. I think if I hadn't had to do this that it would have made post op learning much more difficult. I haven't had surgery yet but just some thoughts about the process.

Totally and completely agree! I was on it 22 days and thankful as heck. It helped in my journey to stop looking at food for feelings and for fuel, instead.
I wish you every success with your surgery and post-op journey!!

Please consult your surgeon & nutritionist for how to do it their way. Biggest regret? Not doing this 10 years ago! Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!
