I have a couple questions....So I'm going to begin my 2 week liquid diet and this makes me more nervous than the actual surgery! How bad was it??

I drink coffee every morning and now I can't have any[emoji51].

How much did you lose on the 2 week liquid diet??

Congrats!! Good luck!

LOL, I'm on Day 9. It's not "that bad" and yet it's just "bad enough." *snic*

I have talked about it ad nauseum in this thread. Hope it helps!:

Thank you! I look forward to reading your posts;)

Start to wean off the coffee now! I slowed my coffee intake before I went liquid only and that helped a ton. No headaches when slowing it down like I did. I didn't find the liquids to be too bad. The shakes were good, and the snacks weren't bad. I had one week of 3 shakes/day with 2 snacks a day and a green meal. Then one week of 5 shakes a day and no snacks.

Lost 20lbs in 2 weeks.

I just started my 2 week liquid and am not doing good. I didn't know you can snack and what is a green meal?

Sorry the delay in seeing this post - been out of town. You are past your two weeks now I am guessing. For other's reference - the green meal was defined by the nutritionist - basically a protein and veggies. I did it with a salad with all good veggies, a tiny bit of oil & vinegar, and grilled chicken on it. Again, that was my week 1 of the pre-op diet. Week 2 was liquids only. Some people go on 3-4 week liver reduction diets - i only had to go on 2, and I only did liquids only for 1.
