I was talking to a friend I met from here and she suggested a test run of the liquid diet for a day before the 10 day....I was telling her I wanted to start early...what do u guys think did any of u do a rest run before the big one???

I say no. 10 days is enough torture! It is going to suck either way. You will be on liquids for a while. Just my opinion.

I did breakfast and dinner of protein shake and liquid only, then a good healthy dinner. It's hard but it helps.

I do protein shake for breakfast & dinner eat a regular lunch and 1-2 snacks like almonds or a fruit .. It's okay not horrible

I did a 2 wk liquid diet. I didnt think it was torture at all, and I lost like 17 lbs!

How about replacing breakfast with a protein shake -- it's a start!

I've been using Syntrax Nectar for breakfasts and occasionally for lunch as well, then a protein-rich, low carb dinner--ten pounds gone in a month, so I can't complain!

I didnt do something ahead of time....I did the 5 day CLEAR liquid diet and it wasnt bad at all..you drink all you want as long as it is clear liquid...sherbert counted as clear liquid as well as jello. was not hungry at during the time. went pretty good.....I loved better than boulioun broth...

I'd find a protein shake you like beforehand...

I like the enthusiasm! I'm not sure you would benefit from starting early at all though, just my opinion.

My doc requires a 3 week one, Ensure and cal free clear drinks... gonna be a longa** month :-) I'd almost kill for a ten day one. If you want to try flavours great, but do it before. Don't make yourself do an extra day just for practice. Just my two cents

Don't forget if you do find a favorite shake you really like... After surgery you may hate it. Things change in a big way when it comes to taste so don't stock up and waste your money

I truly couldn't even look at powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury shakes (or any shakes) after surgery. I also lost the taste for tea. I am nearly eight months out and still don't like tea.
