I don't have to start this until Oct 4th, but I was curious to what everyone is eating.

I have a 2 week liquid diet I have to do. Its almost all protein shakes that I got from my Drs office and 1-2 cups of veggies until 3 days before surgery then its straight protein shakes. For 2 weeks.. :/ Sorry I'm still wrapping my head around it lol. I start that on 10/5, with surgery on 10/20.. I'm a little jealous of the people that only have to do a low carb diet or a few days of liquids.

i did a two week liquid diet which included shakes, isopure rtf, and any other low to no cal beverge w/o no carbonation. I did muscle milk, powdered shakes, and isopure. After 2 days, you are not hungry and you know you can do it!

I agree with it's all good! 2 week liquid diet for me. No food at all. Some of you are lucky to be able to eat a small meal. I'm on day 4 & I feel great. It's not as hard as I thought it would be. Stay hydrated & stay focused. We came too far to turn back now. Best wishes to everyone.

Everyone 's surgeon has a different plan...what are your instructions?

1 did 16 days of 3 Protein shakes /day plus unlimited leafy green veggies (spinach, lettuce, broccoli, brussel sprouts). I could substitute broth with unflavored Protein powder added for one of the shakes. I think I was allowed SF Jello but never had any. I made Popsicles out of Protein drinks for a treat. Drank lots of Water.

Lost 22 pounds in 16 days and had a smooth easy recovery from surgery.

I am on day 2 of liquid diet. Not to bad I have to drink 4 protein meal replacements a day and 1/2 cup of non starchy veggies! N a lot of water. Spend a lot of time in the bathroom. Lol. But I am not hungry at all. I don't like the flavor of the shake but added sugar free jello to it and it is better!

Mine is 10 day all liquid. Have my preop class sept 30. Hopefully this will explain more what I can have

I was supposed to do 14 days of Protein shakes and clear liquid only but I got a call asking if I wanted to move up my surgery. I am now on day 5 of 10 days of 4 protein shakes per day and no food. Honestly, it's not as hard as I thought it would be. I do make dinner for my family and the smells make me a little hungry but I try to plan my shakes as I cook. The only thing that I have noticed is that I am really tired. If I sit, I fall asleep. Can't wait until Friday!
