My surgery date is Nov 7th. I start my 2 week liquid diet Oct 24.

It’s been a lot of hoops to jump thru up till now. I’m excited....

I could use some tips on what you liked on your liquid diet. Here is what I’m stocking up on so far...

At your stage, I would recommend three things.

1. Take a good before photograph of yourself, so that you have something to compare to after surgery. Many times we are blind to our obesity. We do not see ourselves. Therefore when the weight begins to drop off rather dramatically, we question if this is really happening. Photographs are a good visualization of our success. Many people carry a before and after photo with them, just to remind themselves of their success.

2. Walk 30 minutes each day, every day until surgery (or equivalent exercise). Walking helps the recovery process go smoothly and minimized the pain levels from surgery.

3. Wean yourself from caffeine and carbonated beverages now. After I gave up my 6 diet coke a day habit, I suffered from a week of severe withdrawal syndrome consisting of severe headaches and body aches. I was miserable. You don't want to combine the effects of caffeine withdrawal with the effects of surgery.

Congratulations! I start my liquid diet Monday. I'm going to stock up on my Protein Shakes, broth, and other yummy liquids. I'm worried about the nausea of not having solids in my belly. I've been testing my liquid diet this week. I can drink all day until late afternoon, then I feel deprived and nauseated. I can do this!

I have surgery on November 7th also, October 24th I start a "skim milk diet"
20 oz skim milk 3 times a day, and sugar free fat free carb free Clear Liquids for the rest, so pretty much I'm looking at milk and Decaf iced tea, ice Water, fat free low cal chicken broth, power aide zero and propel fitness water. I am weaning off of coffee the next few days, weaned off Creamer last week, no Pepsi for 3 weeks. So excited for the trip and scared to death. Message me if you want to chat, and good luck with everything.

I'm only aloud 3 pints of skimmed milk a day and sugar free jelly and sugar free drinks that are flat. I'm on day 7 of 14 and I've found sugar free syrups to put drinks like my coffee it's helped a lot. Eveb added it to milk and it helps when you want somthing sweet like a dessert when I can't have anything other than bloody jelly lol.

You can get zero cals Syrup sauce thing that you can put in and on food which might help people too. I got some from Holland and barrot but I don't know for people outside the UK and I'm sure they do other brands too.

No cal, sugar free syrups are totally helpful! I'm on day 6 of my liquid pre-op diet, and those syrups and flavor extracts have been very helpful. Been using my Ninja blender like CRAZY lol surprisingly, as long as I get my Protein Powder shakes in, I don't really feel any bad hunger. Not gonna lie, I've been salivating over the smells of other foods that coworkers eat at lunch time, but I haven't strayed from the liquids haha.

Mine is Mountain Dew. I drink a lot less then what I was drinking and went to low carb diet and loss 24 pounds. Had my 3 hour pre op appointment today. Dr was pleasantly surprised at my weight loss and expects more when I get on the 2 week liquid diet. I quit caffeine tea about 2 months ago. Went Decaf.
