Hi all! I had my final consult with the surgeon last week and paperwork has been submitted for insurance approval! I am hoping to schedule surgery for sometime in July, if all goes well. My surgeon requires a 14 day liquid only protein diet prior to surgery (3 protein shakes and 1 small yogurt per day). In an attempt to 'practice' and get a sense for what this will be like, I have tried to follow this diet a few times. And by late afternoon each time, I cave and eat something. I don't know how I will be able to do this for 2 weeks! I am fully invested in this process and committed to this new lifestyle but really find it hard to do only liquids.

Any suggestions? Tips? Greatly appreciated

What helped me to get ready was I started using a smaller plate, and I used the half plate of veggies, 1/4 protein and 1/4 carbs method. I made myself cut down to 1 serving of whatever it was - not going back for 2nd and 3rds. I think it really made a difference once I had surgery.
