FreeingJme 6 Posted March 14, 2016 Hi fellow sleevers. I start my liquid diet tomorrow. Any tips to survive these two weeks and still keep my sanity? Sent from my D5316 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted March 14, 2016 Good luck! My advice: Focus on what you CAN have, not what you can't. Stay hydrated and have something to drink with you at all times. Stay busy. Remind yourself that you can do anything for two weeks and that it will be over soon. Remember why you are doing it: to be healthy and have the best chance for a safe and successful surgery. You can do it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ellenelise12 4 Posted March 15, 2016 The broth is what kept me sane. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barbhull 0 Posted March 20, 2016 What kind of broth did you use? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xochtlem 54 Posted March 20, 2016 What kind of broth did you use? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Vietnamese Phô broth is what kept me going. It filled me up, tasted great, and contains some Protein in it (3g per cup according to MFP). I'm 4 days out, and it's been hard getting cold liquids down, and the warm phô broth makes things so much nicer for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heather I 500 Posted March 20, 2016 Are you having just the Pho broth or the fixings added in it, like the meat and noodles and veggies? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xochtlem 54 Posted March 20, 2016 Are you having just the Pho broth or the fixings added in it, like the meat and noodles and veggies? Just the broth. That in itself was much more satisfying than canned chicken broth. [emoji37] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heather I 500 Posted March 20, 2016 True dat! I'm glad you mentioned it. I love Pho. Even just the broth is a treat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kyle.odom 57 Posted March 20, 2016 I hope things are going well you guys and good luck with the surgery. I'm scheduled for 4/14 so my liquid diet starts 4/4. I think I am more concerned about the liquid diet than I am the actual surgery just because I turn into the spawn of Satan when I haven't eaten and get hungry. (I'm not proud of that.) I will definitely try Pho broth though! Thanks you guys and good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lori Lynn 2 Posted March 21, 2016 My surgeon requires 3 weeks of Protein Shakes and crystal light. Supposed to get 80-120 grams of Protein per day. They say no to everything else. Just left the office from my first weigh in pre surgery. Finished my first week of no food, two more to go... this is tough! I definitely agree, more stressed about the pre surgery diet than the surgery its self. After surgery our stomachs will be smaller and we will not be so HUNGRY.
