Im not sure how others lasted for ten days on a liquid diet but Im on day five and feeling like I need something more or maybe Im bored.

So I have had oxygenized water, smart water, regular water, apple and berry juice with no sugar added watered down, chicken broth, fat free milk with a quarter teaspoon of honey hmmm thats everything I think and am starting to feel like I need more.

I have five more days on the liquid diet per my surgeon.

How long were you on the liquid diet and did it feel like forever?

I was on clears for 5-6 days because I was still stuck in the hospital (the surgery revealed that I had a kidney problem and that had to be dealt with), but then I got to add in the other stuff I mentioned.

I cannot say enough awesome things about Isopure ready to drink Protein Water. It is clear protein in a variety of fruit flavors, with a texture the same as juice or water. After my experience in the hospital I developed an aversion to traditional Protein shakes, so I survive on the Isopure protein waters, and my surgeon told me last week that she's never seen anyone with a better protein level at 12 weeks out! The Isopure drinks do NOT come cheap, and some of the flavors are revolting (I gagged on the 'Icy Orange' flavor but love 'Alpine Punch', but my husband loves the Icy Orange and hates the Alpine Punch.). The Vitamin Shoppe has them the cheapest, and they have a cold case with individual, cold Isopures so you can try a few different flavors before committing to a case (which are cheaper on their website). They have a black tea that I want to try next.

Thanks I will look up the Isopure now!

But so is it still a powder?

Nope! It's what is called RTD, which stands for 'ready to drink'. It caters perfectly to my lazy side! They do sell protein powders to make shakes out of, but I stick with the RTD clear proteins for the texture (the lack thereof).

Okay thanks

I just wish I were allowed to have any solid food. I'd kill for a salad. I'm on day 6 of 14 of the pre op diet and I've lost 15 pounds. I still feel like giving up at any moment, but I just keep moving forward.

I've been on this preop diet for about 3 weeks. I've not lost very much. I started august at 260. I'm now 249. I weigh as soon as I get up and after I use the potty

I wouldn't worry. People lose weight differently. I was 345, so I certainly had it to lose. :-P

I just hope after surgery it isn't that slow.

After about day 4, it got a little easier for me. On day 3 I ate a single piece of American cheese and felt SO guilty that day four was like a redemption day for me, and then I refused to let myself feel that guilt again. But day 4 was much easier in terms of what I knew to expect and cravings seemed to be much more dull, too.

I DID take a protien drink and put it in the freezer in an ice cube tray--and then i crunched the pieces. I feel like that helped with my longing to chew.

I lost about 10 lbs on my 14 day diet.

I'm 19 days post op and I've lost 17.4lbs. I wish it would have been an immediate change in the mirror but it definitely wasn't. I had pain in the hospital, but it was a dull soreness after day 3 when I was at home. I struggled with fluids day 4 and sat with medicine cups and forced myself to sip 8oz each hour I was awake. Day 5 I did the same, but didn't feel the "pressure" as day 4. Day 6, i moved on to drinking small sips out of bottles and cups because I wanted it to feel "normal" as soon as possible.

I didn't feel "restriction" or fullness til I started thicker full liquids--like un-thinned yogurt, or bean Soup.

Omg I'm so bummed. The last 48 hours I'm supposed to do straight up liquids. I did that yesterday and I just woke up. Peed. Got on scale and it's a lb more than yesterday. Mother nature is coming and she's gonna make me mad with this water weight. Any ideas on what I can do to take some water weight off without durex
