It's different for everyone. My taste didn't change at all! :)

But I agree - don't overstock cuz you just won't know if you'll have that problem til after surgery!

Good luck!

How about replacing Breakfast with a Protein shake -- it's a start!

That's what I was told to do and I'm 2 months pre op... Lost 10 pounds so far.

I had three weeks of liquid post-op, but no pre-op liquid diet. I just had to loose a certain amount of weight before surgery.

I dont recommended to start early but I do recommend to find the Protein Shakes and any other liquids your going to drink ahead of time. Another tip that helped me was always keep your hunger under control. If I start feeling hungry I drink a Protein Shake right away and lots of Water after. Im on day 5 and so far its been easy. Day 1 was the hardest!! Good luck!

A test run would just prepare you for what is in store. I was just curious to see what the liquid diet would feel like. But the first couple of days are the hardest so doing that one day will be hard but at least you know it eventually becomes okay.., I think back to the day that I did my test run which is seven days ago and I Would do it again just so that I know what the different shakes taste like.

The mistake I made in my first couple of days was that I was just drinking the shakes it is a must to drink Water water water water water! It helps keep you fall between shakes

You are looking at 2 weeks of liquid before surgery, 1 week clear liquid after and 2 more weeks of full liquid before you are able to eat again. That is a total of 5 weeks for some it is 6 before they can eat again. Don't rush it and put yourself through extra weeks. It is not that great.

      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.
