i just started my two week pre-op liquid diet on Monday and it isn't as bad as i thought it would be. of course' date=' i'm only two days in. the only thing that gets me is the lack of "real" (meat, cheese, etc.) flavored things. all the juices, Jello, puddings, etc. either fruit or chocolate flavored. besides the chicken and beef broth, i got nothing. i see some of you can have salads, lean meats and other things not on my list. i'm going to call my surgeon's office to see what i can do, lol[/quote']

I'm on Protein shakes ONLY, for a MONTH! I feel pain lol

My doctor is very strict' date=' 3 shakes a day and Water only. No broth, no pudding or Jello. I am having it rough you all. I think if I was able to gave other things it would nt be this bad.[/quote']

I have lost a total of 8 lbs and I am on day 4 of liquid diet. Today is going to really be a test because it is the weekend. I have begged my husband to go get me some egg drop Soup. I drink the EAS Advantedge Carb Control shakes. Walmart sell them or Publix. Propel Water also. I have to do 2 weeks of liquids and surgery is July 11. I have 10 days to go.

Congrats! 8 lbs in 4 days is great! I tried those EAS ones, I coudnt drink a whole one! I'm doing the Atkins advantage. Those I can bear. But I also mix it up and have a blended slim fast that I make out of the powder. I'm going today to GNC because they have a shake that has 25 Protein and @ 5/6 carbs...I'm on this diet untill doc says no more, since I don't have a surgery date. But you doc will be so happy your liver is shrinking from this special diet, it willard surgery faster! Congrats again!

Hash is not even the beginning. Let's try insane. I will stuck to it because I really want this surgery. I know I will eat solids again but this is a challenge .

Oh mannnnn! So sorry! I'm on day 13 of liquids but I can have sugar free Popsicles and broth. And I have been going nuts, so I can only imagine. However, I found that days 1-4 were worst days! Day 4 especially! So try to get over that and it will get easier! It's not forever! Will pray for you!!

After day 3 it wasn't so bad. Once I got past the headaches I actually wasn't that hungry.

I had the same thing. You can do it! One day till my surgery!

I looooove the Protein Shots. Kroeger has them on sale right now for 1.59. I wiped them clean out. They are near the pharmacy section, close to the EAS/Slimfast junk. I love them because the have 26 grams of Protein, no sugar, 10 calories and a fruit flavored and I just down them. pretty refreshing and NOT a darn milk flavored drink. They are pretty expensive, even online, so run out to Krogers now! 2 people in the check out line asked me what they were.

thanks for the suggestions!

well, i started on 6/26 and it was going pretty darn well - a whole lot better than i expected...until today. i couldn't resist the bbq smell and had a chicken leg and 1 rib. i have a headache out of this world and hope i haven't screwed everything up. we'll see. my surgery is scheduled for the 9th but may have to be postponed for a totally different reason (posting in another thread), so that's how i justified it in my head.

      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?

      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.
