It's typical for the bariatric program at my hospital. They make you do anywhere between 1-4 weeks. Not sure what the deciding factor for how many weeks is though. Today being Easter has been the hardest day yet. My house smells amazing right now. I finally had to put my daughters Easter chocolate out of my site (and hers).

I feel the same way. Started my liquid diet on the 23rd for my April 13 surgery date. Excited but also wondering what I've gotten myself in to!

I am just finishing up day 4 of a very looooooong 3 week liquid diet of Optifast. I am finding it not too bad as far as not eating goes. I would say it is only mildly uncomfortable. I managed to sit through turkey dinner with my family, sipping my shake, with only mild jealousy. That being said, the last 2 days I have been having some unbelievable mood swings. Think a major case of PMS. I honestly don't know if my poor sweet husband will last those 3 weeks. To those who have been on the liquid diet, did you experience mood swings, and did they ever subside?

This was something I was thinking of as well. I have booked off a week and a half but would like to go back after a week if I'm feeling up to it. Good to know that might be a possibility!

I am on day 1 of a 3 week liquid diet. So far so good. Loooooooooooooooooong way to go though!
