I started my liquids today. My surgery is on Oct. 14th. Not too bad so far but it's been only 5 hours!

Just Protein shakes. 6 a day for me. I'm using Bariatric Advantage. I can have veggies if I want.

thanks i'll check that out.

Wow,, My pre-op is starting at 2 weeks before surgery and it consists of protien shakes during the day and a sensible dinner i.e...chicken , fish etc..and veggies. I have actually started this at a month out to get a jump on weight loss.

3 days before surgery I will go to liquids only.. Now that will be the hardest, but I will get through it..

My doc has started me on the liquid diet and I still don't have a surgery date. They told me that starting it now before they send in the insurance is a good thing in case the insurance denies me and wants me on a supervised diet. It's very hard being on the liquid diet with no surgery date. It's hard doing all of this and not even having a finish line or a date set or anything.

Wow, sorry in advance for not mincing words, but this is crazy. I would not do it. In fact I would get another surgeon.

HI there, I am starting on the protein in 2 days. I will have 3 a day and 3 Protein Bars. I am also using bariatric advantage. How are they so far? Tolerable I hope. My sugery is on Oct 27 so I have to do this for two weeks. I can add veggies if I have to also. Good luck with your surgery!

I am the day after u. I started the diet a few days early to adjust. It's harder than I thought. I drank the banana flavor protein powder mixed with h2o and I got nauseous and hungry earlier in the day and just now I gave in n ate cottage cheese n peanut butter pretzels. Oh boy. This will b a challenge for me to just do the bariatric advantage stuff. The vitamins from there I think are not good at all blah! But maybe u will have better luck than me. I just might switch to a yummier protein drink from somewhere else. U r smart to do the bars too. I bet they r ok tasting. Good luck.

Ok, day 3 of liquids done....omg I am hungry. Chicken broth has been tasting really good. 2 more days then surgery on Friday! Woohoo

My surgeon will be Dr. Marema in St. Augustine, Fl. He is a surgeon of Excellence and he is a patient himself. He had the bypass years ago.

For the record, I would fire him too if he asked me to start a liquid diet before insurance approval or surgery date.
