Hi,

Please help! I am to start my liquid diet on the first.. Any tips? I have a big family cookout on the 4th I think I should skip. Please any advice will help. Thank you

Hi Julez, I am currently on the liquid diet. Surgery date July 1, 2014. I attended a church function this week, centered around food. I am not going to lie, it was hard to sit there with my SF jello and not indulge in the taco bar. Be prepared. The protein shakes really do help. I have not had the hunger issue, like I thought I would. My personal opinion the Special K brand seems to stay with me longer. Good luck.

Thank you so much, I have told the family having the cookout that I might have to leave. Just not sure how it is going to be making food for this cookout.

Wow July 1! Best of luck to you.. Be the rock star!

I start on the second and luckily my fiance' and I are not big outdoor party get together people! Especially not out in this heat!

One thing I will have a problem with is our Sunday breakfasts we have with some of our friends.

I am also kinda worried about cooking dinner for my fiance'. I am thinking he should eat dinner on his way home.

Good luck with your diet and your surgery!

Thank you! Good luck on yours also!!! I told my girls that they will be getting there own and please don't eat good things in front of me. Lol

I heard the first 2 days are the hardest I was thinking of starting early.

Best of luck to you!!

Well, I had to prep for a colonoscopy twice and this is better than that! At least we don't have to drink any prep! Blah

True that lol... I guess we just take it one day at a time

I guess I am one of the lucky ones - I dont have to be on liquid diet! yeah!!!! I do think I am going to try it for the last week -

Wow you are one of the lucky ones! A friend if mine only had to do one day.

Talking to you all have helped a lot thank you! You are all rock stars in my book!!

Hi! I'm finishing week 1 of my liquid diet. I'm not gonna lie... It's been rough. I'm allowed non starchy veggies on my plan. If you are allowed that, my favorite has been chopped garden zucchini and mushrooms, sautéed with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray. Then 1/2 C low sugar tomato sauce on top. Next week will be even harder! I'm teaching an 8 hour cooking camp each day.... Committed to long before my surgery date was scheduled. Best of luck to you!!

Hey... my very good friend and surgery date twin tried the same thing! ????

I have been putting unflavored whey protein in my hot broth. It dissolves and I don't even know it's there, but it keeps me full. Best of luck to you on your journey! You've got this!

Thank you! I didn't think of trying that! Best of luck to you also!

I am on my last day of shakes! YES! The only thing I have had in the last two weeks was a couple of cups of broth! My surgery is on Monday and I am so excited! Hang in there gals! We are on our way to being healthy, happy and thinner Hugs <3

PS. Hershey's is making a sugar free chocolate sauce YUMMY!

Oh my gosh Lisa I am so very happy for you!!! Please keep us posted!!
