That is going to truly be the biggest challenge for me ever. Just a few questions I have from those who might know. How long until you were able to get back to work? How did you get through the liquid diet? Does lettuce and watermelon count, mostly water, right?
Any advice would be appreciated...
Thanks!

Every Dr. is different, and it also seams to have to do with you BMI. Some Dr's don't do a pre-op diet, some do liquids for 2 weeks, some for 2 days. I have also read that some are no carbs for a period of time.
I am a very picky eater, and am scared of the liquid diet too. I meet with the nutritionist on Thursday, and am hoping for some creative solutions then.
