I had a clear liquid diet for 2 weeks and had slimfast (low sugar) chicken, veggie and beef broth and sf jello...u will be hungry trust me but u just have to keep tellin urself its for a good reason and half the time its head hunger...keep drinkin ur shakes and have lots of Water with crystal light in between...my DOC said if u feel faint call them so they can tell u what else to eat..good luck and when u get banded the hunger goes away for 2 weeks and it starts again which is normal til u get ur 1st fill...PLEASE dont cheat or that can cause u not to have ur srugery they want to make sure ur liver shrunk to make the surgery easier...good luck

I just start today too. I am luck I dont have to be at work til friday. I have been drink ALOT of Water. I am drinking my shakes, they arent to bad. I was surprised. Just keep drinking your water. I tried ocean spray cran-grape (just like crystal lite) 5 cal/suger free. On the go. They were great, and lots of other flavors. They taste just like the juice, but will only 5 cal. Well good luck

I started my pre-op diet two weeks ago today. I was not put on a liquid diet. I am on a 1000 calorie diet with a shake for Breakfast, a small lunch consisting of 3-4 oz of Protein and a salad, a shake for a mid-afternoon snack, a small dinner similar to that of lunch and a shake for a late evening snack. So far I have lost 12 pounds. I guess I am lucky to be on that diet instead of a liquid diet. Hang in there.. it's all for the best! I have one more week and I'm headed for surgery Nov. 11th! :lol:

I was on liquids for 2 weeks prior and 2 weeks after surgery. You are going to be hungry, but you get over it. I had a lot of sugar free popcicles, a couple of frozen juice bars and lots of Jello. Those make it seem like you are eating something at least. One of my saviors was Tomato juice, I would heat it up and add a little pepper for taste. You can do it, and you won't believe how much weight you lose just by being on a liquid diet!
