I stored my pre-op liquid diet today and I feel like such a whimp. I keep thinking about what I would like to eat and have to remind myself that I can't have it lol. Not sure how I am going to make it without chewable food till the 14th. I'm not crazy about the protein shakes. Any suggestions from anyone?

Sugar free jello, sugar free popsicles, and lots of low sodium broth, and ice, hang in there, it will get easier in a few days

Thanks I'm hoping once I get through the first couple of days it'll get better.

My surgeon's office assigned me protein shakes from Bariatric Advantage that contain fiber. They were filling and controlled hunger. I did not lose a single pound on the one-month pre-op liquid diet, but it definitely shrunk my liver, which was the main goal. I wish you the greatest of success on your journey! I had surgery 9 months ago and am very glad that I did.

Lol I know the feeling. I spent the weekend before my liquid dieting eating my favorite foods and Snacks. Good luck! It's weird the first three days were the worst for me but after that It got better.

I havent been told a month on liquid diet- dont think i could stand it b4 surgery. They have had me on 1300 calorie mediterranean diet for 3-4 months, going to education, nutrition exercise classes... When i get my surgery date i will be on 1100 calories/day for two weeks, but they didnt say liquids only-- i guess everybody gets a different plan.

Anyway i Lost 30 lbs...but It took forever to jump through their preop hoops. Now just waiting on insurance, and backsliding on my diet. Probably gained back 10lb this week- im afraid to check. Im a big bad cheater this week.

I've done pretty good about not cheating. I was told the purpose of the two week liquid diet was to shrink my liver before surgery. Good luck and I know you'll do great.
