My surgery date is Nov 25. I'm a bit scared but excited. I start the 10 day 1000 cal liquid diet Sunday. Any tips or food suggestions?

don't cheat, not even once. stay as close to zero fat as possible. get the lowest sugar/highest protein powder you can find. have shakes @ 6,9,12,3,&6. drink as much zero cal bevs as possible(water is best). i averaged 700-800 cal per day. you want your liver to shrink as much as possible, because they have to move it aside to get to your stomach. good luck and see you after the recovery room!

I'm new to this site. My VSG is November 23, happy thanksgiving! I just finished a birthday and my first week o liquid diet. First day, I'd eaten anything, but have not cheated. Second day, not so bad. I take in about 700 to 800 calories. I like water and premier protein shakes. I am full all the time! But, this liquid diet has prepared me for post op and I do feel better overall. I also use fitness pal for tracking everything, even my water. Btw, does anyone have advice for working out? Walking and strength training?

Today is day 1. I have been completely faithful to my plan. My dietician says 1000-1100 calories, I think because I'm breastfeeding my 13 month old. The v 8 spicy is good and the premier shakes are ok. That, jello and veggie broth at going well. Thanks for the advice. Helps me stay focused.

I had totally forgotten about v8!!!! Congrats on your little one! You are definitely a busy lady, good luck!
