Hi fellow sleevers. I start my liquid diet tomorrow. Any tips to survive these two weeks and still keep my sanity?

      Good luck! My advice: Focus on what you CAN have, not what you can't. Stay hydrated and have something to drink with you at all times. Stay busy. Remind yourself that you can do anything for two

      I hope things are going well you guys and good luck with the surgery. I'm scheduled for 4/14 so my liquid diet starts 4/4. I think I am more concerned about the liquid diet than I am the actual surger

    Good luck!

    My advice:

    Focus on what you CAN have, not what you can't.

    Stay hydrated and have something to drink with you at all times.

    Stay busy.

    Remind yourself that you can do anything for two weeks and that it will be over soon.

    Remember why you are doing it: to be healthy and have the best chance for a safe and successful surgery.

    You can do it!

    Avoid carbs like the plague. Is it strictly liquids? No fruits or veggies?

    What kind of broth did you use?

    Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    Vietnamese Phô broth is what kept me going. It filled me up, tasted great, and contains some Protein in it (3g per cup according to MFP). I'm 4 days out, and it's been hard getting cold liquids down, and the warm phô broth makes things so much nicer for me.

    Are you having just the Pho broth or the fixings added in it, like the meat and noodles and veggies?

    Just the broth. That in itself was much more satisfying than canned chicken broth. [emoji37]

    True dat! I'm glad you mentioned it. I love Pho. Even just the broth is a treat.

    I hope things are going well you guys and good luck with the surgery. I'm scheduled for 4/14 so my liquid diet starts 4/4. I think I am more concerned about the liquid diet than I am the actual surgery just because I turn into the spawn of Satan when I haven't eaten and get hungry. (I'm not proud of that.)

    I will definitely try Pho broth though! Thanks you guys and good luck!

    My surgeon requires 3 weeks of protein shakes and crystal light. Supposed to get 80-120 grams of protein per day. They say no to everything else. Just left the office from my first weigh in pre surgery. Finished my first week of no food, two more to go... this is tough! I definitely agree, more stressed about the pre surgery diet than the surgery its self. After surgery our stomachs will be smaller and we will not be so HUNGRY.

    I started mine today! Today is over and I'm fine so far. The cream of chicken protein soup was really good!
