i actually had my last appt with my surgent this morning before Surjuy. I told her I cheated and had some fish. She said that was fine. As long as I was I eating snicker bars and chip Cookies things of that sort She said the liquid diet is important because they want to shrink your liver. while they doing the surjury they actually lift your liver up to get to your stomach. In the process they do not want your liver to crack and cause you to bleed out. Then you would need a transfusion. I said wow. I had my Protein today and some yogurt. so far so good.best wishes on a safe weight loss journey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Has anyone had to do a liquid diet prior to surgery. This is very hard. I understand the 1000 calories or 1500 calorie diet. but complete liquids. I have already cheated and had some fish. Please advise my surgery is March 1.

Thanks I have to say today is a better day. I had my Protein Shake I mixed it with Water and ice chocolate unjury. No headached. No hunger pains. I feel awesome. I brought some Soup for lunch today I will just sipped the broth. If I feel Hungry I will go for another protein shake in the afternoon. Thank You so much you have been so helpful I needed to hear that. I also have Dannonlight n fit yogury that was on my list. I guess I can eat that as snack. I am at $270 lbs. I was 285. My surjury is March 1 and this is third day of post diet. Also I bought the same vanilla isolate whey protein. I haven't tried it yet. Is it good plain with just water. Or does it need a little skim milk to it .

I thought it was just me I had one of the hunger headaches all day. I finally took some asprins. I needed to know I was not alone in this liquid diet thing day 3 here I come.

It is normal to to not get approved first. They usually submit your paperwork without all the document first to get your insurance company in the process. about a day or two later it should be approve. Your doctors office will submit all the documents. The same thing happened to me. My surjury date is March 1. The same exact thing happened to me. I got my approval letter in the mail this pass Friday.

I have been eating yogurt, tea and taking my Vitamins. banana and one day I had a mango smoothie for lunch. I also have sugar free Jello. I cheated last night with a pretzel and lemonade. and I cheated today with almond crusted Tilapia and mashed potatoes and green Beans. this is day two for me. So tomorrow I will start fresh with a Protein Drink in the morining stick with the apple sauce and the yogurts. I have to say. I haven't had any soda or cakes and pies. So that must be a plus. So I guess my question is stick to my Protein drinks and no lean meats or starches at all?

Good Luck with your journey I am sure you will do well. My sujury is March 1 and I am very nervous also. I am struggling with the pre diet myself. Are you on a complete liquid diet one week prior to surjury.

Sky is the limit don't nobody hold you down. I am getting banded March 1. My friends have mixed feelings and emotions too. But at the end of the day you have live with your decision. I too relize my whole life is going to changes you are going to have some hater and you will have some supporters that is a given no matter big or small. Just look forward to becoming a better stronger healthier you.
