Doctors require certain diets for certain people based on what they need. Each person is different, so it is best to stick with what your doctor determined best for you.

I didn't have to do the liquid diet before but others in my group did, for me it was due to my size and my eating habits to begin with. The doctor knows best so put your trust in him or her.

Why would anyone want to cheat? Are you cheating your doctor? NO. Are you cheating the band? NO. Are you cheating yourself? YES.

Who will suffer from you cheating? YOU WILL! So why cheat??

I find it weird that some doctors require ONLY Protein Shakes and liquids when others are allowed like 2oz. of meat, 1/2 cup vegetable, 1/2 cup fruit? What did your doctor do? Did seeing this information from other posters make you think about cheating if your on a liquid diet? ??

I was on liquid for 2 weeks... 5 Optifast shakes a day. It was the hardest thing I have ever done. And also one of the most rewarding. I lost 22 lbs and was completely prepared for surgery and the 3 weeks of liquids and mushies following being banded.

It seems there are several schools of thoughts on the pre op diets but I chose my Dr and decided to play by his rules. I didnt cheat. I have followed his orders to a T and have lost 209 lbs.

      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.
