I start my liquid diet today. I'm verrrrry excited but a little nervous also. I'm a little concerned about the liquid diet for the week because I'm not a big slim fast fan & that is what my doctor wants me to do for liquid diet but I know that the excitment of this Thursday will get me through. Good luck to everyone that has a July date.:thumbs_up:

My date is July 7th and I can't wait!! I'm 5 days into my two week liquid diet and I am doing pretty well. It is just hard to still have to cook for the family. The smells make me feel faint! I've been trying to stick mainly to the shakes but just expanded my horizons with some chicken brooth w/ mushrooms and brocolli. I actually feel satisfied. Anyone else for the 7th? Good Luck to everyone!!

My banding is July 17. I start my pre-op diet two weeks before. It consists of two Protein (slim-fast) type shakes daily and a meal of a turkey sandwich on wheat with a piece of fruit, plus lots of Water. I know when I start a diet, I tend to feel hypoglycemic at times - what has anyone else done when they get "woozy" on the liquid pre-op diet? Nancy B.

WOW!!! You can have a turkey sandwich? I can only have slimfast, 1 cup of veggies, broth and sugar free Jello. I am on day 5 of my liquid and I would die for a turkey sandwich. I get woozy and light headed all the time. Good Luck with your surgery!

I can have 5 Slim Fast's (shakes and bars) and 1 meal consisting of 5 oz of lean meat, 2 cups of non starchy vegetables and 1 serving of fat. I've been on it since Monday and have until July 10 to do it. It has not been bad at all. I have a slimfast for Breakfast, a bar for a snack at 10:00, shake for lunch, shake for snack at 3:00, dinner at 6:00 and a bar before bedtime.

well Tuesday is surgery day for me. I am on day 5 of my liquids only diet. I am starting to feel run down. I have lost about 14.5 lbs since I started my pre-op diet. Doctor told me I would. I just take it meal to meal and try to stay busy. I have decided to clean my house on Saturday to pass the time away. I feel like my life is about to start over!!!!!!:tt2:

I am only on day 2 of the oatmeal, yogart diet. I feel so wozy, even as I write this I am. Starting to shake. I have till Thursday of this and then Friday I don't get to eat at all and my surgery is in the evening. I see that there is going to be an end to this madness of this eating disorder that I have and I think that is what is going to hel me through this. I could not cook for anyone! I don't see how you are doing that! I tried Slimfast last night and did not like the chocolate tasted kinda funny. Couldn't stomach it. Any other suggestions?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
