I found it hard for first three, days. but after that it got much easier, mine consisted of 5 Protein shakes, per day one fruit punch and any sugarfree coolaid, or zero cal beverage. 2 cups of raw vegetables like brocoli, and one light yogurt. I found my self dipping in and out but, with help from the girls who had already done it, they were my boost to help me get through.

I did Adkins for my pre op diet. It was hard at first because I was always hungry. I got tired of certain foods for example, chicken, eggs, and cheese. I am now 5 days post op and would give anything for real food. Good luck.

I also did Atkins for 2 weeks as my pre-op diet. It was great and there were no complications with a thick liver because I ate zero carbs for those weeks.

Good luck! I was excited to start my pre-op diet because I knew it meant that things were finally happening. That and the weight loss I saw every day were real motivators to getting through that phase. I did have some days that were difficult, especially since my pre-op diet started a few days before Christmas!

You can do it! Just think of this exciting journey now beginning for you :)

I am currently on day 8 of my liquid diet. I'm just going to tell you right now it SUCKS. But I know I have to do it. The 2nd day was actually the hardest day for me so far. I usually drink 4-5 Protein shakes, sugar free Jello and sugar free pudding. But don't forgot to drink plenty of Water.

My wife has been very sweet in trying to do the diet with me but after the 2nd day she had to eat.... lol

      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.
