Today is 14 days before my surgery and my liquid diet starts today. I'm scared that I'm always going to be hungry and weak from not eating. I also have to work my normal shifts at my two jobs. I don't know what to expect.. How did you guys do with your liquid diet?

Hi it is not easy today I am in my thirth day but so far I keep going strong with my diet, my nutrisionist give me a example of a daily meals as follow

Morning meal. shake + 1/2 cup of oatmeal or wheat

Morning snack pudding or Jello sugar free

Afternoon meal shake with crystal lite + yogurt

Afternoon snack 1/2 cup unseweetened apple sauce

Evening meal shake with skim milk with raw vegetables , tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers etc

Bed time snack shake with crystal lite with 1/2 cup tomatoes or 1cup tomato v8.

As you can see you eat something 6 times a day also deink at least 64 oz of Water, I hope this can help you just be strong because at the end of our journey we will be rewarded

OMG my diet is so different! I get 4 shakes a day and sugar free jello and broth and that's it, nothing else but water!

Yes I guess all doctors are different my nutrisionist is a bariatric specialist , I visit a regular nutrisionist before but the doctor office request a bariatric specialist and when I went she give me a lot of information so different from the regular nutrisionist.

I am doing shakes only (broth and Popsicles okay, tea, etc.) and I actually think it's much easier for me to have food out of the equation. Nutritionist offered a plan with a sensible protein veg dinner but I opted for just shakes as it's easier for me at this point just to do liquids and not "diet" if that makes sense. I am on day four not hungry and working out a lot -- also doing some last outdoor work today before it snows.

You are all doing great! The first week and the last day are the hardest but I have faith in you all and you can do it!!

If you are needing to crunch ice pops work great, if you need something warm decaf tea or coffee work great. Adaptation and perseverance are the keys to success here, keep up the good work!!
