Today is day 1 of my 15 days on liquids. Really worried I am going to cheat. Anything to make it easier... less boring? Surgery date is June 27th.

All I know is that if I make it another days on this awful liquid diet it will be a miracle!!

I feel sick of the shakes already. How much Protein are you getting a day with the liquid diet? I'm getting about 90 grams. Maybe I need more. I'm weak and have a headache all afternoon in work. I'm only on day 3 of 14.

One thing that helped me was having a cup of hot broth. I like Swanson brand flavor infused broths--chicken tortilla and Tuscan chicken were my favorite.

I'm not weak or shaky... Just very hungry and cranky. My niece calls it "hangry." Lol. I have been dipping into my post op protein soups, shakes and drinks. I didn't want to but the protein is filling. I get 60 grams per day.

I'm going to have to check into this nutritional yeast thing.

^{Im', definitely weak. I'm just hungry all day. I just find it odd that some Pre-Op diets include chicken and veggies while others don't.}

There are several different versions of a pre-op diet. Some are extremely strict (clear liquids only), the time frame of the diet varies and some don't have one at all.

I am on day 9 and I am so cranky the littlest thing makes me mad I can't wait for this part to be over

I'm glad I'm not the only one. It feels so good to feel sorry for myself and get sympathy from someone going though it too. My family is over it and I hate them for eating. Lol. Not really hate. I just want them to leave me alone.

You'll love it. I promise---well, I hope anyway.

Sprinkle it on your entrée. Mix it into soups and stews.

I shake it onto green salads. I forgot what stage you're at.

I love the cheezy/bready taste it adds--as well as more Protein.

Let me know if you like it or not.

You can buy informational books about it on Amazon.

Good luck, Friend.

Day 3. Much better today. I don't feel like I'm starving but for some reason I'm incredibly thirsty and I've been guzzling Water which is a good thing but I have an unquenchable thirst no matter how much water I drink. I wonder what's up with that?

Try adding a little lemon to your water. Sometimes that will help.

@ Valentina. Great idea. Thanks!

I am still a month away from WLS but I have been training myself the past several months to eat close to how I will eat later so I am prepared. (And I am gathering info for later use.)

I kinda did that too thinking it would help for my pre op diet and beyond. I'm on day 4 and I'm not convinced it helped.
