Well today I start the first day of two weeks of the liquid diet, this day has arrived. I was told I can still drink diet soda or coffee, I am a coffee drinker but cannot just drink it straight, any suggestions?

Today is day one of pre op liquid diet for me as well. I love my coffee, too. I am learning to appreciate black coffee but you can try stevia or splenda. My Protein Shakes taste like cake batter. If you take cold coffee and blend it w shake and ice, it makes a decent frozen mocha.

I start my very low calorie pre op diet on Tuesday and I'm also a coffee drinker. My plan is to mix it with my morning Protein shake. Check out YouTube for coffee Protein drinks for WLS there are a handful of ways to make it. Good luck! :)

I use Visalus at the moment. It is pricey but I had a bag from a previous diet attempt. 90 cals per serving w/12 grams Protein, 5 grams, Fiber, and 7 grams carb = 2 net carbs and less than 1 gram sugar. It is a powder that i blend with coffee, no sugar added almond milk, or crystal light.

What is ENS and where do you get it? Does it taste good? I tried to make homemade popsicles but the Protein Powder sank to the bottom. Not too appetizing.

I haven't tried ENS yet but they have a cake batter flavor, Celebrate Vitamins sells it. I have been meaning to order from that site but just haven't yet. I have made Protein Popsicles and what I found works is the ISPURE clear liquid bottle drinks you can buy at GNC or Vitamin Shoppe. :)

      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.
