So, my VSG date is January 23, 2017 and now I'm on the liver reduction diet but it's been very difficult to stay on the diet. How was it for you all and did you cheat a little?

The two weeks goes fast. I was on a liquid only diet, but was permitted to have one cup of veggies per day, if needed. I did not cheat. I stuck to my plan.

It gets some getting used to but don't cheat. It's well worth it. I had my surgery 5/29/15.

I only had protein shakes, egg whites

It does take a little while to get used to it, but I didn't cheat at all. I stuck right with the pre-op diet plan and I am so glad that I did!

Even though I stuck with the plan, I still had this fear in my mind that they weren't going to be able to do my surgery because my liver might be too large. Ridiculous some of the things that I worried about.

Stick to your pre-op plan, you will be glad you did!

I start mines on the 24th.... Seems challenging but I'm so ready for this life change. Tired of feeling huuuuge!

I can definitely relate.

After 3 days it was so much easier. Eye on the prize.

It was definitely hard not to cheat, but it got easier after the first couple of days.

I am just tired of always feeling hungry

I'm on day 4 of my liver shrinking diet, with 8 days left to go... the first 2 days were the hardest, but it's no cake walk now either.

I'm only allowed 4 Protein shakes or bars and 1 protein rich/low carb meal a day, all of which has to total less than 1300 calories a day, and I have to spread it out every 3 hours from 730-730 daily.

I can't lie... the shakes and bars are absolutely disgusting, which makes drinking and eating them VERY difficult for me... and I'm awake until between 10 and 11 every night... so not having anything but Water after 730 every evening when I'm used to snacking right up till bedtime is hard, too.

I've been struggling with this diet and worrying that after surgery I'll be miserable, in pain, and not only unable to satisfy my head hunger (like I feel now) but also worrying that I'll physically be unable to stop feeling actually hungry and unable to stay hydrated because of the restrictions I'll be under then.
