Did you "transition" into the liquid diet?

My surgeon requires a 2 week all liquid diet - I am kind of easing into it in that I have started "test-driving" shakes. I went out last weekend and bought several different brands to see which ones I like best. Right now, I am just having them for Breakfast each day...I start the real thing on the 18th (and I'm not looking forward to it)...

I only had to do a 3 day full liquid diet prior to surgery, after surgery I had 6 weeks. The only thing I did to prepare for this was try different Protein drinks/shakes before I was on the 6 week full liquid diet just to make sure I liked them.

I wouldn't do it a minute sooner than necessary. It gets very old, very quickly.

I would make sure I had Protein I really liked, though. (My doctor recommends a certain brand, but was fine with others, as long as it fell within certain nutrition parameters.) I really like the Inspire from bariatriceating.com. The Dutch chocolate Cake flavor is very good, as is the PURE unflavored.

I did it cold turkey and the first day was the worst, but it got better.
