I just had my VSG on 17th of April. My DOC put me on the 2 weeks pre-op liquid diet, using Bariatric Advantage Meal Replacement shakes. They were disgusting. So much so, that to consume I had to hold my nose, then wash my mouth afterwards with Crystal Lite lemonade. After day 3 or 4, I wasn't really hungry. Note: Would have a cup of skim milk about 1 hour before bedtime which helped with Protein.
Here is what should motivate you. In that two weeks, I lost almost 10% of my weight, down from 387 to 358.
Talking about JUMP STARTING the weigh loss!!!
Fortunately, my DOC is very aggressive about getting to the soft food diet, which may happen as early as Day 10 post-op.
