My date is 8/15 , but I find it strange that my surgeon never put me on a liquid diet ... But I think ill do a week of liquid diet on my own !! When I started this journey in January through kaiser I weighed 210 , I'm down to 196 ... But still I have a Lil concern that my surgeon didn't put me on a liquid diet !! Should I at least do one week of liquids? ? Any feed back please !!

Day 2 of liquids. Bleh! 11 more to go. I'm going to have to try silk or almond milk. My poor stomach can't handle the milk, but cheese, cottage cheese and other dairy items aren't so bad, but then again I never drank this much milk ever in my adult life. Bleh. I hope I like almond milk or silk otherwise I'm stuck suffering till my surgery.

      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.
