jvelasco 6 Posted June 2, 2013 I'm on day 5 of my liquid diet and it is difficult in only allowed to have the slim time shakes 3 times a day and low glycemic veggies. Raw or steamed. For myself adding instant coffee to the shakes makes them tasty and adding mrs dash no salt seasoning makes the steamed veggies bearable . 1 michpell39 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wadeg7 149 Posted June 2, 2013 I am on day 12 and I have found it. To be much more of a mental challenge and less physical. I too am on a 3 week liquid diet. I rarely feel hungry, but do have cravings from time to time. I also find my sense of smell much keener now. When I get tempted I drink more Water and it helps a lot.

ksaug21 81 Posted June 2, 2013 I had to do the liquid diet before my surgery for 10 days. I drank a lot of tea, which helped me and I was told that I could have sugar free popsicles which really helped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stephanie0456 38 Posted June 2, 2013 It's weird we have the same dr and he didnt require me to do a pre op diet at all... Which I thought was odd... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dylanmiles23 2,198 Posted June 4, 2013 I'm on day 5 of my liquid diet and it is difficult in only allowed to have the slim time shakes 3 times a day and low glycemic veggies. Raw or steamed. For myself adding instant coffee to the shakes makes them tasty and adding mrs dash no salt seasoning makes the steamed veggies bearable . I add the coffee to chocolate and also peppermint extract and then tons if ice and the shake becomes as thick as McDonalds. I have one every day for Breakfast When I get a fill I have to do 3 days of shakes so then I have 4 of them. Good luck!! 1 jvelasco reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
