Diet is ok. I'm grumpy probably because my "drug" of choice is gone. I've been drinking sugar free Carnation Instant Breakfast, nectar Protein shakes, and Ideal Protein Shakes(my Mom works at Ideal Weigh, a weight loss center and they have their own protein products). I "cheat" with veggie Soup broth (try to leave the chunks behind). I start Clear liquids tomorrow...should be interesting.

Good luck and prayers to all of you.

My surgery is June 6 and I start my liquid diet next week. Please Please offer me any suggestions. I have tried to start by drinking a Protein Shake for breakfast and eating a low calories small lunch, but next comes just liquids. Give me strength!!! Good luck every one!!!

Not sure which one you will b on but I was allowed to have 1-2 shakes a day ( which I didn't drink cause they were really bad) I was allowed 2 cups of fesh fruit a day, up to 3 sf fudgecicles, I was allows 1 cup skim milk, yogurt, or 1/2 cup cottage cheese( variation of all 3 or some three times a day. I usually did 2-3 servings of Lf yogurt), the next items I can have all I want broth any variety ( usually used the broth that comes with ramen noodles) diet an apple, unsweetened tea or coffee no cream, sf kool aide, crystal light, diet pop, propel or other non calorie or very low calorie waster type drinks. I am allowed to use sweet n low for sweetener in tea or coffee.

Don't know if this will help but I also was allowed sf Popsicles any amount. If I got hungry I would grab a Popsicle n go for small walk. It suppresses hunger. I've lost almost 19 lbs n I have couple days left.

      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.
