My surgeon said only one day too. But I did it the other day just to see if I could do it and I was fine. I put bouillion cube in water with some soul seasoning. I drank a slimfast shake for breakfast and lunch. And I had sf jello for a snack. I did not try the sf popicles but that sounds good too. I would think tomato soup would be good too.

I'm waiting on my date. But occasionally I do the liquid diet to prepare myself for it. It's not so bad. The hardest part was my husband cooking and eating in front of me. If I came home and the whole house had already ate then it wasn't so bad. I put boulion cube and some soul seasoning in water. Tastes yummy. I would drink that twice if I needed to feel full. Also my NUT told me that slim fast or protein shakes counted for liquid diet too. So that really helped me. Just stay busy on the days you have to do liquid and you should be ok. Good luck.

I lost 6 lbs in one week. I drank lots of Water. I had coffee and creamer for Breakfast, slim fast shake for lunch, small portion of meat and veggies for dinner. A couple nights I drank broth and had no dinner. But that was hard to do. I got a little nervous that I wasn't going to meet my weight goal so I also took a laxative and water pills. Good luck

@@Mega_100 my NUT said to order the calcium and take it at seperate times from the other so it doesnt mix with the Iron.

I'm right there with you! November Surgery! Cant wait for sex with my hubby of 21 years!

I am pre-op as well. My NUT just told me what to order for after surgery. I just went to Bariatric Advantage and ordered Advanced Multi EA Chewable Mixed Fruit (60ct) for $36.00 (this has all of the vitamins in one chewale) and Bariatric Advantage Calcium Crystal, (60 servings) $15.10.

I am so glad you posted this post. I just got thru reading a really crazy post on here about ice cream, GEEZ my head hurt after reading that. Although I felt bad for the person that posted it, however I do understand why people were hard on him. Because You Cant Lose Weight With Ice Cream! I haven't had my surgery yet, just had my last nutrition appt waiting on Insurance approval. But I will honestly share that I am completely gullible and will read anything and think "hey he's having ice cream, maybe I can too." This top 10 link really put it into perspective for me. I saved it to my blog that I am doing for my own sake so I can read it later. Thanks for sharing. This is not the fix all, we will always have struggles, no more soda or french fries or pizza. It's the same old diet I've been doing for years, the surgery is just a jump start. It's time to get serious!

@@beingfree What's your stats now? I know you just had surgery. How's it going? my last weigh in is tomorrow then we submit to insurance for approval.

In that short of a time frame I would suggest water pills and or diaretic. Desperate times calls for deperate measures. Good luck Girl. Keep us updated. I have to lose for Insurance purposes but my surgeon has no crazy requests like this.

I started the slim fast diet to lose a little before my last weigh in appt before we submit to Insurance. It is 2 shakes a day and a 500 calorie meal. It is definitely tough. I can't imagine only clear liquids. Hang in there. Try to keep yourself busy and pre-occupied.

I have been doing the slim fast diet lately to get myself ready for the pre-op diet. 2 shakes and a 500 calorie meal. Same thing. It is tough for sure. But I am on day 5 and I have lost 8 lbs. Good luck to you.

Congrats on making the decision. Better late than never. I am new too. In process. I will probably get a November date. Just stay positive. This site is very helpful.

I also had an abnormal EKG. I am only 38 years old and in excellent shape other than weight. They sent me to a cardiologist. Then he ordered a stress test and echo. Was really no big deal. I did both of the tests and they came out normal. I've been cleared for surgery.

Not in Jax. I'm in Macclenny though. My surgery wlll be at St. Vincents Riverside. Howdy neighbor!
