    My program was 2 weeks as well! The first couple of days are tough, but then I was SO surprised. I didn't know where my hunger went. It was non-existent. Also, it helps to understand why the diet is i

It was a success. ..I survived. ..lol I'm doing okay

My LSD ???? is two weeks. Breakfast and lunch are a protein shake or bar (or two Greek yogurts), dinner is 3 oz light protein, small carb (6 crackers, 2 low cal slices of bread or 2 oz potato) and salad with one tablespoon light dressing. Also have two small pieces of fruit as snacks and can have all the green veggies we want. Of course the day before is all liquid. So mine isn't too bad. The hardest thing for me has been giving up carbonated drinks.

I am 6 days post-op today. My pre-op diet was 10 days of liquid, including 4 Bariatric Advantage protein shakes a day (I was never able to get more than 3 in), sugar free Popsicles, sugar free jello, fat free chicken, beef or vegetable broth and water/crystal light, etc. I was also able to have up to 2 cups of vegetables off of a specific list, either all at once or split through the day. The day before surgery was clear liquids only. The point of the pre-op diet is to shrink the liver. That makes it easier to get to the stomach with the laparoscopic devices.
