C'mon. You know the answer to this. If you're on a 2-week course of liquids, Anything that isn't liquid isn't something you should be eating. Period.

Yes. This is hard. but honestly, it's two weeks out of the rest of your life. You need to suck it up and just do this. You're going to have to follow postop instructions, too. Those can be hard in a different way than the preop diet. And postop instructions last a lot longer than two weeks.

You really need to ask yourself if you are ready for surgery. it's serious business, and if you aren't ready to take it seriously, it's time to take stock and ask yourself why.

I say this with all due respect and care.

You aren't ready until you can control what you are putting in your mouth. Fritos, Triscuits, etc. tell me you aren't as ready as you want to be.

Pretend like you are on Naked and Afraid, and all you have out in the jungle are Protein shake trees and bottled Water on a vine. The good news is that you don't have to be naked with monkeys peeing on your head from the jungle canopy. Its only 14 days instead of 21, and there is no three mile hike uphill through thorn bushes to get out of there.

Here....I just posted this on another thread for someone else who is struggling. The pre-op liquid diet is a right of passage to a better quality of life.

Jeez ... I thought we had this conversation before.

You're on the pre-op liver-shrinking diet -- and you're wondering if fritos are OK?

What's going on? Do you think you're trying to sabotage yourself so you won't be able to have weight loss surgery?

(Honest, that wasn't a snarky question -- but a serious one.)

Just for fun if you ever want to see just how much fat is in Fritos......light one on fire .......it will burn like a candle because it has so much oil and fat in it!.....there's not too many worse things you could choose. I think you need to get serious with yourself and make this work, if this is actually what you want.

I'm with @@LipstickLady ...this is going to be a serious strain on our friendship. I don't think we can get past this.

Life without guacamole - like life without cheese - is hardly worth living.

      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?
