What helped you through the liquid diet phase?!? Any tips/suggestions?!

Day one started today!!

Thank you!

I called my doctor and he let me come in after 6 days instead of two weeks. He said it is more based on progress (ie off pain meds, walking easily) than a specific time.

Stay out of the kitchen as much as possible.

Drink lots of Water and if you have a family to cook for, pass the responsibility onto someone else if you can. The hardest part for me was cooking and knowing I couldn't eat!!!

You can do it!! Best of luck

I just keep thinking that this is shrinking my liver and will help my surgeon preform a successful surgery with minimal complications and that this is only for a very short time in the scheme of things. Plus it's a head start on all the weight I need to lose.

It's tough, I know. Hang in there! You can do it and in a few days your hunger will be more manageable (and it helps to avoid food situations if at all possible - easy to say, hard to do with Christmas this week).

Hang in there you can do it! If you have to drink water till you feel too full to eat.

Vitamin Water Zero kept my electrolytes in balance and helped with headaches. I drank at least 2 bottles a day. By day four or five my hunger and bad mood subsided a bit. I also went ot bed early....lol

You've got this!

Get as creative as you can. Use s/f torani syrups to change the flavors of your shakes, munch on ice chips, enjoy different flavors of s/f jello.

I've been looking too, I found that amazon has some good deals on the isopure (well it seems like good deals so far)

Awesome thank you everyone! Keeping me eye on the prize! But I definitely am feeling pretty slumpish and I am ready to go to bed right about now! 11 more days till surgery!

I'm on my pre-op too. My date is Jan 7th. I got my isopure from bariatric choice. I got a 20.00 off coupon from refer a friend. So far everyday that goes by seems to get easier. I started mine 2 days early so I will be doing 16 days Pre-op diet... all I can say is

... We Can Doooooo eeeeet!
