I am on day 8 of my 2 week liquid diet the first 2 days were hell!!! Lol but honestly it's been a breeze since then..I lost 10lbs in 6 days. My doctor has me drinking 4 slim fast low carb shakes a day plus sugar free Jello Popsicles and crystal light..I dont like te chicken broth so I don't drink it...just get through the first few days and it will get better I honestly don't feel really hungry anymore or have super crazy cravings. It's become almost a routine now so u dont think about it as much

My preop consists of HMR products which is like WeightWatchers meals not to bad tasting. I've read some having to take 2week liquids which sounds difficult I wonder why the different preop diets?

My pre-op diet is my hmr shakes too. My nutritionist was giving me a 2 week diet but then she recommend a shake/liquid diet. They are seeing better results with this diet better.

The shakes are not bad just tired of thinking of the shakes.

My pre-op diet is shake in the morning 3to4 oz of lean meat veggies salad and chicken broth shake for dinner. Why are all the pre-op diets different?

My pre-op liquid diet is 10 days. I am supposed to have a minimum of 5-6 8oz servings of Protein a day. I have been having Isopure, Oh Yeah, and Pure Protein Shakes. In addition to the protein I can have broth, low cal gatorade, sugar free Jello and sugar free Popsicles. On 10 day I can have Clear Liquids only.

I also wondered why everyone has diff pre-op diets. I am on a 14 day liquid diet. Doc says its so that it will shrink my liver and help him get to my stomach better. I drink 3 Protein Shakes a day. I'm also allowed sugar free Jello and popsicles. I blend chicken noodle Soup for dinner. I can also have crystal light. My only downfall is that I need to drink more Water.< /p>

      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.
