I begin my 2 week diet next Monday in the 2nd. He said shake at Breakfast, shake at lunch, and a low carb dinner of lean Protein and non starchy veggies. This is so going to suck but I know will be worth it. Anyone else have a job that's labor intensive and did this. How did you get through it? What kind of shakes did yall find to work best?

I start the exactly same diet on Friday. Well, for a week at least. Then I have week of 5 Protein Drinks + 64 ounces of Water every day for the 2nd week.😭
Every time I’ve had to do this type of diet, what really seems to help me is staying busy. Reading, surfing the web, anything to keep my mind off what I’m not eating.
We’ll get through it! Like the saying goes, if you wanna get something, you gotta give something.
Best of luck!

I used Slim Fast only because my 2 week was pure shakes and chicken broth. My dr wanted me on Lower Protein so i could consume more as his max was 100 a day.. so that allowed me to have 5-6 shakes a day if i was feeling hungry. His was no food at all for the 2 weeks.

I like the Premier Protein shakes. My plan was 2 shakes and a Lean Cuisine type frozen diet meal for dinner. If we got too hungry we could do 1 shake and 2 frozen meals. I did the 1 shake and 2 frozen meals for my prep and my liver was fine.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
