I've been on my liquid diet for 4 days at it is really hard at might. I'm starving around dinner time. I just at a 1/2 slice of breadstick and eat my sons pizza crust. I'm hoping this doesn't blow it? Anyone else in this boat? Or were you and what was the outcome? Did the surgeon cancel?

If you are starving are you having enough protein shakes? I wasn't starving at all because they were enough to satisfy my hunger, I just wanted to eat because my mouth wasn't happy lol. I didn't cheat because I didn't want to risk him opening me up and finding a liver that was too big to proceed and closing me back up. I was so afraid of that it kept me honest lol. You will probably be ok but I wouldn't do it again. Especially not carbs.

My shakes are 24 grams each, but only 100 calories each. They told me not to go over 100 of protein a day. That gives 4 shakes a day. With the low calorie chicken broth, sugar free popsicles and hello it is hard to push 450 calories a day.

In the seminar, going off the liquid diet was something that was brought up. Two surgeons that were there said, they totally understand but they wouldn't cancel the surgery if you slipped up and ate. But of course if you did it for however long you had to be on the pre-op diet then that would be a different story. My pre-op that starts Monday is 4 protein shakes, 64 oz of water, sf popsicles, sf jello, broth. They actually don't care as long as you get in all the protein and water, so if you want more it just has to be sf and liquid. I had to do the same thing for the band, it was a little difficult but I definitely felt a whole lot better even before the surgery. Found out it was because I was basically carb free and processed sugar free. Brought it up to the surgeon when I had my post op follow up by then I had been on liquids for three weeks.

Thank you. I was seeing people on here or on other sites that were allowed to have salads. And I was like WTF, why can't I have salads! I thought my surgeon was being too strict. However, my hospital is a center of excellence for bariatric surgery,so they got to know what they are doing and I throw the idea out the window. It is kinda funny though, here you are needing to have the surgery because of a weight/ eating program and they want you too eat for a whole week. That is asking a lot from people that have a problem with eating! I'm just planning on staying busy al weekend, so I don't think about food.
