My surgery date is July 8th and my doctor requires a pre-op liquid diet based on your BMI. Unfortunately, I have to do mine for 4 weeks! I have survived the first week and it was SO hard! I drink an optifast drink for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I get to have two snacks per day which consist of either an Optifast protein bar or soup. I haven't tried the soup yet, but everything is so sweet! I think I am going to try the soups this week, but that means I am giving up what little bit of crunch/chewing I can have. Has anyone else had to do a pre-op liquid diet for this long? Any words of
