I'm in SC, on a 4 week liquid Protein diet 5 times a day and a meal. Surgery date 9/6/17. Been going pretty good, so I guess it depends on your doctor. My BMI is 35 at start and I only have to lose 10lbs before surgery, weight in next Thursday should be at 202lbs, I meet that goal last Thursday. That's one full week on Protein Shakes and 1 meal. Hope I can keep this up.

I was required a 1 week liquid diet. Did 1 week clean eating diet followed by a 2 week liquid diet. Did a green Protein Shake in the mornings to help avoid Constipation. 1 small frozen banana, 1 1/2 cups frozen spinach, 1 cup Water, 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 2 tbsp of flax seeds, 1 banana Premier Protein shake, 1tbsp PB Fit Peanut Butter, 4 ice cubes. Blended this in a nutri ninja. Provided a thick delicious shake every morning that kept me full til mid afternoon. (39g Protein/10.5 Fiber) The morning shake made about 33 oz. I drank 1/2 early morning, and the other half before lunch. I then followed up with 1 Premier Protein shake (30g Protein) around 3-4 pm, and 16 oz. chicken Bone Broth (18g Protein) at around 7 pm. After that, maybe a sugar free Jello or popsicle for snack around 9pm. This kept me content all day every day, although I admit I had to doctor up the bone broth. Got tired of the same flavor. I lost 23 pounds during pre-op liquid diet, and didn't feel hungry or constipated. (I only lost 2 pounds clean eating the first week for a total of 25 pounds in 3 weeks.)


Cool, thanks for the tips.

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
