Hi mamaofmatthew! I just finished scheduling my surgery for July 31! My pre-op tests will be done on Monday the 21st. My doctor is only asking me to be on a liquid diet for three days ... two weeks seems daunting but I'm sure you'll be able to get it done!

My day one was a bit of a (eating) drag. As I type, i am hungry lmbo. Trying to think of ways to become creative with this lol. Im so ready for my surgery and that is my major motivation.

What Protein are you guys using to stay full? I am using Premier Protein but I'm sure I'll be sick of it soon! I'd rather have a juice protein than a milk type.

Im using EAS Protein Shakes. I like the strawberry creme. Its 100 calories with 17g Protein 1.5 carb

I'm feeling the liquid diet pain too!!! I want any kinda food!!! I'm dong 2 weeks of liquid, for a July 29 sleeve. We had to buy a Meal Replacement, and can have a few sugar free foods......it's not fun!! I'm hoping it gets better!!!

Hi, I'm July 31st also at Baylor Plano in Texas. I started the weight loss diet about two months ago with the Optifast shakes and Protein bars. I ate nothing but Optifast six meals a day (a little bit under 1000 calories per day) and averaged slightly over 1 lb a day weight loss. I stopped after two weeks and went to the two shakes a day one sensible meal plan. I'm down 40 lbs now and I'll stay on this diet until the day before surgery. I've got three different flavors of Isopure in the refrigerator and some beef and chicken broth in the pantry. Will pick up some sugar free Jello later. I think I'm basically ready.

Good luck to eveyone. I'll be posting more as the day gets closer. Only 13 days left.

Hello,

Sorry you have to have two weeks worth of liquids. A bit much...but, we all are following our own doctors orders. My surgery is on July 30th!! I have to drink a Protein Drink in the morning and for lunch or dinner I can have a Lean Cuisine meal. Water/water/water!!! Pre-op is on the 21st. On next week I will be on the "blending diet". Liquids/smoothies.

Best of luck to ya! You can do it!
