I took 2 weeks. I think it was perfect. I have an office job so minimal movement but no pain really anymore, just a little tender. Energy is low but that will get better with more calories. Just don't get into the habit of sleeping a lot affer surgery and u should be fine

I tried the fruit punch one and it is absolutely disgusting. I only got one ounce down and the rest is still sitting in the fridge....lurking.

doin ok. sleeved on 1/16, I think i've lost 13-15 lbs since the 1/14. I'm still on full liquid for another 5 days, then pureed for 2 weeks. I'm having some difficulty getting in enough fluids and definately don't get in enough protein. I can't stand the unflavored protein powder and can't have my preop protein shakes that were really high in protein until pureed stage. I have been drinking boost and ensure high protein since that's what I'm allowed. Hoping i won't do too much damage to my system over these past 2 weeks with only 35 grams of protein a day. I've even thought about replacing some water with just drinking milk to get in some more protein. Other than that, things are looking decent.

Anyone try these? What are good flavors?

The nurse at my doc's office asked if i'm a liquid diet for my preop...so i say yes, and give her details since she asked. She's a skinny little thing. She then proceeded to tell me that I should be so full with all the protein in the protein shakes. I didn't want to laugh in her face, so I held it in, but my god, you couldn't be further from the truth. Full?? um...no. you couldn't be further from the truth. please tell me i'm not the only one that's hungry on the preop liquid only diet...

salt intake is probably a little high since i'm making my own stocks to drink rather than the canned stuff. but I'm drinking a ton of liquids to counteract the salt. Who knows. Maybe just not enough. thinking about cutting down to 2 protein shakes instead of 3. Still less than the 5 they want me to drink

Just had a visit with my primary. gained 6 lbs???? I'm on a liquid diet, how is that even possible? Hope it goes down before my final meeting with the surgeon on Monday. Surgery Wednesday!

I've had a rough time so far. Had a few bites of cheese and pepperoni. I figured it's at least low carb. I am trying like hell to not cave again. Our stomachs are still normal size with normal hormones...definitely not easy. So proud of all you that can do the 2 week liquid diet without faltering.

I'm on the 16th of January. My first day on liquid today and it's kicking my butt.

Same here...my initial appt was beginning of november. Although i did have to see a nutritionist for a year. Scared still but hoping everything goes well for all of us.

Well, my date is now the 16th, but i'll take it!!

Yay! Approvals all around today.

Thank you!
