I think the two week liquid diet will be worse than the surgery itself, but I'll survive...

My nut told me I didn't have to do the liquid diet bc my liver was already small but I'm thinking if I should just do it anyway to get use to it .

I've got two weeks on the per Optifast diet. Not looking forward to it. I have a feeling that I may b a raving lunatic dying this time so I have warned everyone around me! I told my husband that he was only allowed to eat things I didn't like during this time.

Hahaha

I've got two weeks on HMR. I have started replacing some meals with shakes to get used to it. So far I've been a like shaky and it has got me worried for when I'm on full liquids.< /p>

Have any of you been told that it was important to keep up your Fiber while on Meal Replacements? My dietician told me to take benefiber during this time as not to get constipated.

I've found in the past when I've done the shake diets I tend to use the bathroom more. But that might be because I was eating a full main meal at night.

What are some of your experiences?

I have not heard about increasing fiber, but I will ask in the morning.

I have my big pre-op appointment in the morning with my surgeon and nut. I am nervous, and hoping I get good news. Surgery is less than a month away!

I called today to get the ball rolling on my complication insurance, since I will be having surgery out of the country and my health insurance excludes WLS. Not scared yet, just excited. However, what will happen is that I will be TERRIFIED on surgery day!!!

My surgery date is August 6th as long as insurance approval goes through. I start my two week liquid diet Juky 23rd, I will be having a light and fit dannon greek vanill ayogurt for Breakfast, a eas Protein Shake for lunch and am allowed a lean meat and small salad for dinner. Only thing that sucks about having surgery early August is NO SWIMMING,,with2 small children this might be difficult..but a small price to pay for health..I too have a busy August but this was the only date that would work for me. Hopefully we can all keep eachother posted on our after surgery progress. Oh and my pcp called today after some blood work and told me I have High Triglyerides.. Surgery couldnt have come at a better time! Bring it on!

      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.
