Hi timetoband me, Try and hang in there. I have 14 days of a liquid diet..... I do agree that you really need to try the Protein. I think that has helped immensely. I have found the atkins shakes to be pretty decent and they have 15 grams of protein! Take care and best wishes tomorrow!

So far I have done best with the Atkins shakes! They are about 160 calories, 15g Protein, and 2 net carbs. If you are by a Wal Mart they had a good selection and were about $2 less a 4 pack than grocery stores. I am on day 4 of my liquid diet. I tried one unjury blended with some juice and ice and that was not bad in the blender, however I tried it today with some crystal light as suggested and I couldn't really take it. Surgery is May 2. Good Luck and let me know if you find something better! I understand the budget as I am a self pay and will be broke for quite a while now!!!:tongue_smilie:

Hey Wise, I can relate. I am on day 4! I do have to say that the Atkins Advantage shakes are not bad. The best so far is chocolate Royal (darker choc), Caramel Latte, and strawberry. Not big on the Mocha or vanilla. It has 15 grams of protein! Good Luck!!!!! 10 more days of this to go 4 me:eek:

Hi Everyone! I get banded on Friday May 2nd. Even though I am nervouse I can't wait. I have been overweight all my life and am ready for a new challenge... Currently it is the liquid diet I had to start on Friday. 14 days of liquids....arghhhhh Oh well I am glad you are all here:)

My surgery is 5/2 as well so I guess we are in it together! Do you have a pre-surgical liquid diet? Mine started today! I have to say I am kind of hungry but I am going to stay strong.......

Some of you are lucky! I am on strictly liquid for 14 days which started today! I am going crazy:)

Yeah, they gave us some samples. We are to have 60-100 grams of protein so it is not just clear liquid, however we are carb limited so we do have to watch carbs and sugar. I used the Atkins shake this morning! Thanks

My doctor is requiring me to be on an all liquid diet 2 weeks before surgery and that starts today. Did anyone else have to do the same? Any recommendations for what you ate and good protein supplements?
