Hi Julez, I am currently on the liquid diet. Surgery date July 1, 2014. I attended a church function this week, centered around food. I am not going to lie, it was hard to sit there with my SF Jello and not indulge in the taco bar. Be prepared. The Protein Shakes really do help. I have not had the hunger issue, like I thought I would. My personal opinion the Special K brand seems to stay with me longer. Good luck.

Thank you so much, I have told the family having the cookout that I might have to leave. Just not sure how it is going to be making food for this cookout.

Wow July 1! Best of luck to you.. Be the rock star!

I start on the second and luckily my fiance' and I are not big outdoor party get together people! Especially not out in this heat!

One thing I will have a problem with is our Sunday breakfasts we have with some of our friends.

I am also kinda worried about cooking dinner for my fiance'. I am thinking he should eat dinner on his way home.

Good luck with your diet and your surgery!

I heard the first 2 days are the hardest I was thinking of starting early.

Best of luck to you!!

Hi! I'm finishing week 1 of my liquid diet. I'm not gonna lie... It's been rough. I'm allowed non starchy veggies on my plan. If you are allowed that, my favorite has been chopped garden zucchini and mushrooms, sautéed with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray. Then 1/2 C low sugar Tomato sauce on top. Next week will be even harder! I'm teaching an 8 hour cooking camp each day.... Committed to long before my surgery date was scheduled. Best of luck to you!!

I have been putting unflavored whey Protein in my hot broth. It dissolves and I don't even know it's there, but it keeps me full. Best of luck to you on your journey! You've got this! :)

      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?

      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.
