The liquid diet is what you do to get the fat out of the liver before surgery. It shrinks the liver so the surgery can be optimal.

Yep, that is why you have to have the liquid diet before your surgery. It somehow works quickly to shrink it! No worries!

I had to do a 2 week liquid only diet. My doc showed me pictures of how well I did in sticking to the liquid diet. I lost 4 inches off my waste. It felt like torture for the first 4 days, but I stocked up on SF Jello and Popsicles for those times I didn't think I could do it. I experimented with different kinds of Protein shakes/smoothies. My favorite flavor combo was chocolate (unsweetened cocoa in the baking isle), Peanut Butter (PB2 powder has a lot less calories) made with milk. The more ice the more it felt like a treat.

I hope that helps.

I forgot to mention I either used vanilla, banana, or non- flavored Protein Powder to the drink. I had to sweeten the unflavored one with Stevia. I liked that because I don't like super sweet stuff to drink.

      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.
