Hello everyone, I completed my 6 months started my liquid diet, I will be on it for 28 days, not sure how I'm going to get through this. The waiting game is hard approved or not approve. On the bright side I loss 22lbs in 4 days! It's all water weight. I'm starting to feel weak I'm taking my vitamins. I'm so hungry Im getting 2-3 shakes a day sugar free jello etc and a gallon of liquids.

Have or anyone doing liquids for 3 weeks or more?

Best wishes to everyone as we go through this phase of our weight loss journey

My highest weight 405

Goal weight 160

Happy weight loss!

Hi Tyra, I was having a lot of gas too, it stop. What pre op diet you're on? I'm on liquids only hopefully surgery on the 26 of this month depending on insurance response. I can't be on no liquids until next month, I will give up lol
Congrats 15lbs gone forever!

I can have 2-3 protein shakes plus one meal of 3-6 oz lean meat and 1 cup veggies.

I wish my Dr. would let me do one meal
When I have surgery I don't think I will be able to drink anymore. lol

Wow! 28 days is super long for the liquid diet. I know each surgeon is different, but is that your surgeon's standard? I only have to do 7 days and I am unsure how I will do it, but that seems silly to me in regards to your 28 days.

Hang in there Novice!

My one-month pre-op diet is very similar to this. The only difference is I can have fruit or veggies with the protein shakes.

Great job so far! Keep it up!

I imagine each surgeon has their own way of preparing the patient for surgery. I also think that each patient's initial lab work has a lot to do with how the surgeon proceeds. I'd ask the next time you see your team (or call them). I'm on my second surgeon and both of them and their teams have been willing to answer any question I have.

It has been my experience that the only stupid questions are the ones that go unasked...

I thought ten days of liquid diet sounded horrible. Why do you have to do 28?? If I had the will power and control to stop eating and stay on a liquid diet then I wouldn't think I would need surgery. I still don't know what I will have to do. My next appointment isn't until next week.
