My surgery is scheduled for the 28th of this month. I am am supposed to start my liquid diet on the 16th. I have to pay money for this box of powder liquids they want me to have. I want to know how of it can I consume in one day. Did you find it hard to stick to this diet?

I am having mine done on the 19th, I started my liquid diet today. I hope it works good luck!

My doctor put me on the Adkins diet. I started that last Monday and my surgey is this Thursday March 15... Good luck everyone!

I started mine almost a week ago it's 3protein shakes a day plus 250cal of low glycemic veggies a day. Yes honestly im finding it hard. Yesterday i broke down and ate good food . Just keep focused you can do it .

Hi,

I wont lie it hasn't been the easiest thing I have ever done, but each day is better than the last. I am on day 9 of the diet and have 7 more days. (i started a day or two early to make sure I could drink those Protein drinks)

The first 3 days were rough!! had a head ache, very weak and just felt awfull.....but I just commented to my husband yesterday as we were walking through walmart that I felt like I had a little more spring in my step. I guess its the 17 pounds I have lost (7 on the pre-op diet). Just that little bit seems to have made a difference.

Hang in there.....one member (Xavier) put it best..... This is the last diet you will ever be on!!

My date is the 22nd, I'm starting my liquid diet tomorrow. I also got the muti-vitamins. But I do have a question, are we allowed coffee?

My doctor said 1 cup...with stevia sweetner, no creamer.

However..... I made a coffee latte out of mine. So I could get the Protein in.

1 scoop protein power

4 oz coffee (chilled)

3 oz skim milk

1/2 oz sf vanilla syrup

1/2 oz sf caramel syrup

6-7 ice cubes

blend and enjoy. 140calories/ 15 proteins/ 3 carbs

That sounds awesome!! I'm gonna have to try it!!

Thanks everyone for your comments. It has helped me a lot !
