I'm actually considering trying a 'liquid diet for a day' to practice for my 2 week pre-op diet...

It's not a bad thing! I slowly added my shakes to a replace my Breakfast then a week before just had 2 shakes and dinner, so when pure liquids came I was okay with it and not starving, helped me lose 32lbs prior and had a completely uncomplicated surgery !

I don't think the "liquid" part is hard...for me, it was finding low calorie liquids! I don't like any of the artificial sweetners, so I did a lot of watered down juice, Gatorade, etc.

Well then, I must be crazy too because I've been thinking the same thing! LOL! Not sure when I want to do it tho....

I added protein shakes to replace meals. With that and the food log for the NUT, I lost 20 pounds before surgery and have had no complications.

you also might try the sugar free popcicles and no sugar added fruit pops.
