I found it hard for first three, days. but after that it got much easier, mine consisted of 5 Protein shakes, per day one fruit punch and any sugarfree coolaid, or zero cal beverage. 2 cups of raw vegetables like brocoli, and one light yogurt. I found my self dipping in and out but, with help from the girls who had already done it, they were my boost to help me get through.

I did Adkins for my pre op diet. It was hard at first because I was always hungry. I got tired of certain foods for example, chicken, eggs, and cheese. I am now 5 days post op and would give anything for real food. Good luck.

I also did Atkins for 2 weeks as my pre-op diet. It was great and there were no complications with a thick liver because I ate zero carbs for those weeks.

Good luck! I was excited to start my pre-op diet because I knew it meant that things were finally happening. That and the weight loss I saw every day were real motivators to getting through that phase. I did have some days that were difficult, especially since my pre-op diet started a few days before Christmas!

You can do it! Just think of this exciting journey now beginning for you :)

I am currently on day 8 of my liquid diet. I'm just going to tell you right now it SUCKS. But I know I have to do it. The 2nd day was actually the hardest day for me so far. I usually drink 4-5 Protein shakes, sugar free Jello and sugar free pudding. But don't forgot to drink plenty of Water.

My wife has been very sweet in trying to do the diet with me but after the 2nd day she had to eat.... lol

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
