Unless your a diabetic there shouldn't be a problem as long as you do everything the Doc. and Nutritionist says. I was worried about the same thing, but the nut (nutritionist) was just concerned if I was diabetic. I had no problems at all on my liquid diet. If your really concerned call your nut and ask them what you do if that happens

Not gonna lie, first three days are pretty bad as far as physical hunger goes but no sugar drops occurred. Can you start on the weekend instead? If you work it may be hard.i would rather do a few extra days of all liquid and start on the weekend than have to do it at work. But that's just me. The work can also be a distraction.

You are about to be amazed at how little food your body really needs to survive.

Oh good at least you can be miserable at home. Good news is that it lasts for only 7 days. Oh and if you have the mind set That it is a medical necessity for you to be a liquid diet it'll make it go by quicker. It's not just a diet it's the difference between having Laparoscopic or open surgery.

that's what helped me... knowing it was for my liver and the surgery, not for weight loss. I had 3 weeks liquid pre op..

I think it helps when you have to do the liquid phase after too. im one week post op and the liquid is not so bad right now..

      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.
