asantiago 89 Posted May 2, 2017 Hello It is difficult to be on a liquid diet for 2 weeks but it's normal to give up but jump back on track. Make sure you having enough Protein, and follow other list of things you can have according to your surgeon diet. Protein will keep you fuller. It takes at least 4 days for your body to adjust and than you will be ok. The first few days are the hardest than your body will be ok. Think positive and you will be ok. 😊 2 Luv2luv2luvya and erica2185 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some Ideas - 1. sugar free popsicles, make your own with Crystal Light, I prefer Mango pineapple Passion. 2. Find a really good Soup you like and strain every bit of food out of it, will taste better. That broth will get old quickly. 3. A good Protein Shake is Muscle Milk Pro Intense vanilla, blended it with some ice, pure vanilla extract. Hope this help. This was the only way I could have made the pre op diet. Good luck 2 Rita48 and erica2185 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blondie66 271 Posted May 4, 2017 Okay I'll be honest I had 3 weeks pre op diet and I would sneak a sandwhich once in awhile I was so hungry and miserable! Now i don't recommend it you want to keep up the liquids and little solid food eating so your liver will be nice and small the day of surgery. Don't beat yourself up keep trying! It's awful and post op dieting is much easier. 1 erica2185 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cbkidci 23 Posted May 5, 2017 My surgeon didn't put me on a complete liquid diet. I was allowed 2 Protein Shakes and one lean cuisine meal everyday for two weeks and I was fine. But to be honest, I cheated a couple of times, but made it. On my surgery date, I found that I still lost 10 pounds. The shakes I used helped me with hunger because of high Protein. And I ate my meal late so I wouldn't be awake too long afterwards. Just keep it up, you will make it.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BariatricPal mobile app 2 blondie66 and erica2185 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
