I did 2 low carb, high Protein Shakes and 1 small low carb, low fat meal (1 meat + veggie) for 2 weeks prior to surgery and lost 12 pounds. I have heard many other people say they had to do just the shakes for 2 weeks though. I bought mine already made from Target or Wal-Mart.

Other good liquids is crystal light, diet snapple. just take a walk down the juicve isle of your grocery store. sugar free Jello is a good snack too. Stay away from sugar and carbs. just keep flushing your body with these and Water. drink water till its obscene!

I had to do Optifast and Clear Liquids for two weeks before my surgery and dropped almost 20 lbs. That is what I would highly recommend.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
