Not everyone here was put on a liquid diet. If I recall correctly, the "a lighter me" program in Mexico allows you to eat what you want up to the last minute.

Seriously? Lemon Water and chili diet? I adore chili, I could do that! The sweetness of the Protein drinks for two weeks straight gets old quick for a person that wasn't much of a sweets person in the first place. I was allowed chicken broth - the first one I had was like a fine steak to me! :lol:

Trust me, I was shocked when she asked me if I could drink lemon Water. I can eat lemons like oranges. I also, am a very huge fan of Chili. So my two week diet before surgery was like heaven to me. Plus, from what the surgeon said about my liver during surgery, it appears to have worked. Just tried reintroducing chili today as a matter of fact. Hoping hot sauce will be ok with me too. I have bottles of that stuff, that I do not want to just get rid of.

I found that finding a Protein Shake before surgery' date=' is sometimes a mute point. The one that I found I liked before surgery, I was not able to stomach after surgery, and ended up using a totally different one. Just a warning in advanced, not to buy to much of one before hand, because that change might happen.[/quote']

Oh GREAT! More stuff to look forward to, lol

Am I the only one that was not on a liquid diet before surgery? I had a fatty liver and was told if I did not get it small enough' date=' they would not do the surgery. My dietician put me on a diet of lemon Water and chili. Said the lemon Water is good for detoxing the liver and so are all the ingredients in chili. Like kidney Beans, peppers, tomatoes, and lean beef. Was told to stay away from any type of potato. So for two weeks I ate all the chili I wanted (I did limit myself) and drank nothing but lemon water. Was shown pictures of my liver they took during surgery and the surgeon told me it looked like I had a new liver. He said he was shocked that it was the same liver that was shown to him by ultrasound less then a week before. Everyone was on a liquid diet? Really?[/quote']

I will also be on a liquid diet when the time comes, and no mention of an ultrasound although I had an EGD(scope, endoscopy)

All liquid diet? Yikes!!!! With mine u can have Protein Bars, one square (healthy) meal, fruit, and as many plain veggies as I want!!! If I has to do an all liquid diet, I'd probably just dope myself up with Benadryl and sleep the whole time!!!! Lol J/K.....but I'm freaking out about this diet too!!! I don't like being starved, I'm already sort of a sarcastic biatch...oh boy, I feel bad for the people around me!!!!

You are having to do a 2 week liquid diet? The diet they put me on before my surgery' date=' which accomplished its goal, was a liver detox diet. Two weeks on nothing but liquid before surgery, that just sounds cruel. I had a killer time on the liquid diet after surgery, I could not imagine how it was before then. Good luck...[/quote']

Did you get the same one I got?!?!

Any store should have premade chili, but is best to make your own. That way you know you are getting lean beef. Plus no additives to keep it on the shelf. As far as the lemon, I just bought store brand version is real lemon juice and then added it to the Water. The diet I was on said you only needed to drink it first thing in the morning and then before bed. However, the more you drink, the better. Since I loved the taste, it was all I drank, all day. Was told the lemon water is what helped me the most.

No. Mine was very simple. Sounded to simple. Lemon Water and chili. Basically dark Beans like pinto or kidney, hot peppers, and Tomato. Which my NUT basically said, if you like chili, eat that.

I am having surgery on Thursday (May 30th) and have been on a liquid diet for 4 weeks in total! I am shocked and slightly jealous lol that this seems to not be "the norm". Then again a huge lesson I have learned on this site is there isn't really a "norm". Every program can be different and everyone's body can also react differently. Cheers to the journey:)

      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.
