I wish you well I am on day 4 of my 3 week liquid diet. I am scheduled for May 3rd.

It is not to bad. The Protein Drinks are thick, don't really like Jello but better than not having it. I like the Spiru-Tein Protein Shakes. Many flavors to choose form and they are about 21 grams of Protein so 4 a day and I am good and pretty full to.

your protein shakes are thick? i mix my whey protein with milk and blend. not really thick though....am i doing it wrong?

I miss mine with Water and ice, I don't think you are doing it wrong. I know that many doctors require a clear liquid diet right after surgery, so you could not use milk or most shakes. But it all depends on what your doctor tells you.

I'm going in the 7th!! I lost my 5%..and then I cheated two days ago... :rolleyes: I had my final clearance by my primary, and met with my sergeon yesterday. He asked me if I wanted my sleeve tighter because I am short and very small framed. Any one have any input on this?

I'm on day 6 of a 2 week liquid diet ~ 2 Protein Shakes and a sensible dinner. It is HARD!! I posted a video on YouTube (jmcbribe) about my progress. Surgery will be May 1st @ 730 am Eastern time. Im also having my hiatal hernia repaired at the same time so I expect to be real sore and gassy. I have the gas x strips and will be taking 2 prior to surgery. Anybody else on the 1st?

Hey Hun I'm on the may as well and will most likely have a hiatal hernia repaired. So we are having pretty much the same surgery. What are your stats im 24 years old, weigh 286, height 5'7. I'm on strictly liquid with a salad and fat free dressing. Why are you taking the gas x strips before surgery

So happy, excited, can't wait that long. Its a start of a new life for me dreaming to get back into a medium again.

So long 3X never to see you again.

Hi D1! I'm 34, 252lbs and 5'5". I'm allowed 2 shakes and the sensible meal which I try to consume for dinner but before then, the shakes, Italian ice, Popsicles, broth are not holding me at all. They recommend the gas strips prior to surgery to help with the gas afterwards.

      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.
