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 :-)

Day 4 of my liquid diet...still sticking to it thru Christmas. it's hard I will admit, I'm struggling with all the holiday food and candies all around, but my surgery is now less than a week away (December 31st) and I want to be ready as possible.

The protein shakes are ok, but the pineapple and apricot protein shake makes me feel sick .. Maybe that's a good thing since I'm not hungry. This site has been a godsend and a great support leading up to the big day... Thank you all.

We r having the surgery on the same day! So your calendar is very helpful for me, good job

I DID IT!! i'm on day 5 of my liquid diet and I didn't even cheat on Christmas Eve or Christmas day, though the dinners looked soooo good!! but as of this morning I lost 11 lbs, so i'm feeling victorious...

I have to use all the food my doctor gave me. No swaying whatsoever. I couldn't tolerate the cream of brocolli so I switched to the cream of chicken. I will now need another box to substitute. I am drinking the unjury chocolate shakes and health wise liquids.

Good job!!

Ah, the dreaded (but necessary, lol) liquid diet. What got me through was LOTS of GNC Total Lean Protein shakes and various flavors of broth from the Swanson brand. Not sure if it's still going on right now, but when I was doing my clear diet (I started on Dec 14 - 22) GNC was having a holiday special where it was buy two cases of Protein shake and get 1 free. The cases are 4 bottles of 12oz drink, and each case is about $10, so it saved me a good amount of money.

I am also on the pre op diet right now. I can have Protein shakes, sugar free Jello, broth, sugar free Popsicles. I must admit I thought the popsicles would be terrible because it is so cold out now, but crunching on them has been helpful.

GNC still has the buy 2 get 1 free, I just got some yesterday ... They're pretty good and there are 25grams of protein per Shake
