This is a really helpful thread. I will have surgery 12/23/13, I, too, wondered how they thought I could do a two week liquid diet, a little chicken, to prepare. It made no sense to me. However, I do understand the psychological prep aspect. I am more relaxed now about my pre-op diet. It was the only thing worrying me, since I understand I will feel full VERY quickly once I am sleeved! I am not a foodie, so alI I want is to NOT feel hunger!
