Has anyone started their liquid diet early. I'm trying to get use to not eating solids for a while. I am drinking a protein shake for breakfast and then for lunch, and then I eat a small dinner. Is this a bad idea? I have my last weigh in Tuesday, and everything will be submitted.

I think it's a good idea. I did some liquid only breakfast & lunches to help prepare for it. For me I'm glad I did it. The pre-op was still rough for the first few days but I think it helped take the initial edge off of it.

It is a great idea. I'm doing the same thing, I started my pre-op a week early and when I met my surgeon he was really happy. The more weight we lose before surgery will prepare us better (smaller liver and less fat located in stomach) and less weight to lose after surgery.

Thanks you all. I've been drinking one for breakfast, lunch, and eating a small portion for something at dinner. Getting lots of water in

I was up 4 pounds last month will that affect my approval?
