I'm on day 4. It's definitely getting easier. Keeping myself busy really helps!

No pre-op surgery diet yet but I have been trying hard to sway myself from making bad choices like diet Mt. Dew and SIP my Water. I still have not told my parents yet. My kids know, my boss knows, some friends know.

Hello, I am on day eight and it has been so hard, but I have not cheated not one time. So far today has been a good day, I find that keeping busy makes it much easier. The weekend was a big challenge, but since I'm back working today, it has been easy breezy today. I haven't been hungry since I started on the two week liquid diet, I can have all the liquids I want, but its the cravings that's getting me.

good for you- congratulations.. I am on day 12 my surgery is Wednesday.. the hardest part for me has been "chewing" or the lack thereof .. Pretty hard to chew Jello - Ice chips and popsicles seem to satisfy it.. but none of those at the office..

I am on day 2 post-op, no real problem. I am just thankful to GOD I had no complications. [emoji1487]

Day 7! I honestly don't know what foods I can and can't eat I hate Jello and yogurt.

I'm on day 8 and my diet says refined grits too, but they don't work well for me after the unexpected hiatal hernia repair that I had to have when I got my lap band. Dr told me yesterday to change over to soft eggs since they have Protein and the grits do not. Could you try that? Other than that, I like the Premier Protein shakes in caramel and strawberries and cream, and I ete sugar free Jell-O, sugar-free pudding with the fancier flavors in the fridge section (mousse, dulce de leche), cream-based soup's that have no chunks or strain them.

I hate creamy Soups [emoji23] I don't know what's up with me lol. I actually put eggs in chicken broth, quick egg drop soup! I dont know if that's allowed, but I'm starving!

Everyone is saying that they drink Protein Shakes, and I remember the lady that explained everything said no Protein supplements, but everyone else is doing protein shakes and they seem to be doing fine. I've heard a lot of good things about the premiere! I am so going to try that.

Premier shakes are pretty good! I don't like the chocolate at all, but I like the caramel and strawberries and cream a lot. Try those for sure. They also have 30g of Protein in one bottle. Kinda pricey (about $7-$8 for 4), but they are worth it. Online a bit cheaper than place where they are readily available.

Honestly, if it weren't for the Protein Shakes – it would be very hard to get through this initial phase. They have enough protein to take away that real hunger, and in a hurry – if you need that. I realize that I am on a blog for sleevers, and I am a bander, but I believe some of our struggles are the same.

costco sells Premier Protein shakes for $25 for 18. I'm on day 6 post-op (I think-do you count the day of surgery? If so then I'm on Day 7. I'm feeling depressed for some reason. I guess food gave me a lot of comfort. I think tomorrow I can have eggs and hot Cereal. I'm really tired of Jello, shakes, broth, ice pops. My lips are cracked and peeling so I need to drink more

[Pastor Doug 9]

I'm looking forward to my Day 8. My plan counts day 1 as day after surgery. I can add eggs and cottage cheese and canned meat with light mayo. Albeit 2 tablespoons at a time. But I'm looking forward to it.

I have enjoyed the premier shakes. Used through my entire pre op diet. I have been recommended to try a premier vanilla or chocolate shake with the PB2 powder. I may be doing that soon.

[AuntPeggy 13]

So I guess I'm Day 6. I can have cereal, eggs, tuna fish tomorrow but like me you only 2 tablespoons 2x a day. I can't wait!!

Hey Pastor Doug! Music Minister Diana here! (Just thought I'd throw that in there since we are both serving our Lord and Savior through ministry!)

I love the Premier shakes; well, the caramel and strawberries and cream anyway. Have you tried adding the PB2 to your chocolate shake yet? If so, how was it and how much did you add?
