You and I are on the same path ... June 28th RnY date, and now only four more days to go after today! Started the liquid diet on the 14th, so well over half-way done. My experience has been that there are ups and downs throughout the day, so I will have periods of energy and periods of feeling washed out. Finding that "cheating" (not really) a little bit by having unsweetened almond milk as a beverage to get my liquids in helps some. (It has 30 calories per 8 oz., which is over the guideline of 10, but I figure if it's helping me to stick to the liquid diet, it's worth it!) How are you feeling now, on day 3? I've heard day 3 or day 4 is the point when the body adjusts and it gets easier, on the whole. Cheers!

(Also, found these great beef bone broth pods for the Keurig on Amazon for lunch each day. The broth tastes amazing.)

Good luck with your liquid diet! You are on your way to a total transformation.

Of all the things that I had to do before surgery, this was the hardest. It was a long 2 weeks. What helped me stay focused was seeing the actual gastric bypass surgery on YouTube. When you see them lift your liver up to get to your stomach, it becomes obvious why they want you to shrink your liver before surgery.

My liver shrinking diet is almost over and it did get a lot easier. I actually got to the point where if be working and I'd look up and see that it was 1 or 2 o'clock so I'd have to make my shake. Before this my stomach would tell me to eat around 11:30. Today and tomorrow are my last phase 2 diet days- then I'm at the hospital at 830 on Monday morning.

Anyone have visual or link to a guideline to follow for the 2wk liquid diet?
