My diet was one week clear liquids, one week full liquids, one week purée, then solid foods.

Not unlike my plan.

PRE-OP: At least two weeks of three Protein Shakes per day to shrink liver PLUS one lighter NORMAL meal.

POST-OP:

1) about ten days clear liquids THEN

2) about 14 days at almost 100% liquids THEN

3) about 12-14 days of pureed foods THEN

4) small meals of solids; liquid foods optional; Two litres of Water per day. Meals should include 90 grams to 115grams of Protein. Proteins should outnumber carbs 3:1 or 5:2, IF POSSIBLE.

      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.
