Today I start my liquid diet with 4 meal replacement drinks a day. This will be a challenge since it's Christmas time, too bad they didn't have egg nog flavored drinks.. Oh we'll. wish me luck :-)

Lol @eggnog flavored protein drinks!!

Good luck, I know it will be a bit of a challenge this time of year for sure! But just know this "diet" is so different from any diet you have done before and will be the first step to a happy healthy life by this time next year

To make my vanilla shakes egg-noggy, I have been adding vanilla, a little sweetener and a sprinkle of nutmeg. I did not miss the egg, but the nog is pretty good.

DaVinci (like Torani) makes a sugar free eggnog syrup! You can add it to Vanilla protein shake and sprinkle a little nutmeg on top. I've been doing that & it's keeping me from missing my Starbucks eggnog latte!

The SF Torani syrups are awesome (at the grocery near the coffees). You can also add a sprinkle of SF pudding, Jello, Crystal Light to your shakes. Be adventurous! Good luck!

Gl Life n many prayers. I'm day 7 of 2 wks and had it not been for prayers, I wuda probably eaten my kids, animals, but instead, ive been chewing my hubby up n spitting him out!!

It really is a Merry Christmas/ Present to your self.

Started mine today. Let's just say only could tolerate 3 of the 5 shakes I was told to drink daily. Did broth and jello. This is going to be a long 2 weeks. I'm weak!

It's normal to feel weak and even get headaches the first couple of days.. Trust me it gets easier around day three.

If you feel weak I would also suggest drinking all of your recommended shakes

Hello ladies I just made me this calendar to help me in this journey ... Feel free to use it if you think it's helpful you can change the dates

Try different flavored shakes....I added various Mio flavors to my vanilla shakes....orange, grape, pomegranate, pink lemonade... I had "coffee shakes" by mixing decaf coffee with a vanilla shake. Added unflavored protein powder to broth...beef or chicken or tortilla soup base. PB2 is awesome mixed in vanilla or chocolate shakes. I'm pretty sure I had something different every day. You can totally do this. I spent 16 days on my preop and lost 20 pounds.

Wow, you really did a great job of planning everything! I will have to do something like this

I added some foods that I think I might eat but there's more choices online
