I'm starting my liquid diet today. My surgery is on March 26th 2015 so I'm starting my two week liquid diet today. Can't believe I will be having surgery in two weeks. I'm excited and scared st the same time. Been trying not to think about it too much cause I was having trouble sleeping. Drinking premier protein shakes,chicken broth with genepro mixed in, sugar free jello, zero calorie poweraid,and water. Yum yum Hope it goes by quickly and smoothly.

I start mine on 03/23 and my surgery is 4/6. I too hope it flies by, I'm so not looking forward to it. I'm constantly surrounded by food LOL

I start mine on Saturday for surgery on the 17th. 3 days of Clear liquids only. Good luck with your pre-op diet!!!

Well today wasn't so bad. I was helping my neighbors paint and move all day.

Day 2 for me, surgery is 3/25. Feeling weak and foggy....but getting the hang of it.

Ok day 3 is not being nice to me :-( woke up feeling so ill, constantly nauseous.

Welcome to the March 26th club @Starespunn! I'm a week into my pre op diet so good luck! I hear it gets easier lol

I figure the best attitude to have about all this is excitement for the future.

On day six of my pre-op diet. Hasn't been so bad. I'm drinking lots of water and hot decaf tea. Trying not to think too far ahead just taking one day at a time- even still March 23rd can't come soon enough

Day 3 down stomach seemed to growl most of the day. Everything tastes too sweet so been having a lot of broth with Genepro.

Day 1 of clear liquid diet, and it's been pretty hard. I'm going to make some chicken broth tomorrow. I like seeing the updates, it helps to know I'm not the only one. lol. Good luck tomorrow!

Day 4 not to bad...stayed busy all day and didn't really think about food to much.

I'm on day 2 of 3.... I check in for surgery Monday morning the 16th at 5:30am!

I don't have to do clear liquids, so I've been drinking Premier Protein drinks, Low Cal G2 and water. I looked at the chicken broth but I don't want to have that much sodium. But, if I had to do 2-3 weeks of liquid diets I'd do it.

I got V8 juice from Costco but thought I'd better wait on that until after surgery even though I don't have to do clear liquids.

Good luck to everyone, were in the home stretch now!

Day 7 down. Lost 9 pounds so far;) A week to go till surgery and getting more anxious by the day.

On my liquid diet I was able to have tomato soup, soups with a cream base, French onion soup, jello made with fruit juice, smoothies, and anything without chunks. My surgeon had me substitute one meal with liquid starting 3 weeks out, 2 meals on second week before, and then three liquid meals a day the week before. I didn't have to do total clear until 1 day prior. I had gastric bypass on 12/16/14, and had absolutely no complications. My liver was shrunken, so the liquid diet did work. Good luck!

Today I just started my 2 weeks liquid diet and my surgery is April 23rd. Question? My friend had bypass done in February and she told me that was ate hard boiled egg whites (no yolk) throughout the 2 week liquid diet. She said her surgery was fine and the doctor said everything looked good. Has anyone else tried egg whites or other alternatives?

My pre op liquid diet was water, protein, zero calorie drinks, herbal teas, broths, sugar free Popsicles and jello only. Boiled eggs aren't liquid. I wouldn't eat them. Ask your surgeon for clarification. Your friend probably isn't a doctor.
