Do you have to follow it. And can you cheat? Are you serious? Yes go ahead and cheat they will open you up find your liver is too big and close you back up lol. It's happened to people. I followed the same plan was easier after first week. I assume you are in UK ? Never seen that plan in America.

No she wouldn't be the first. She also wouldn't be the first to wake up after being put under to find out they didn't have surgery. Good your surgery went well and yes we are all human but to be sure and also about being able to stick to something to prepare you for the liquid diet after it's best to not have plans of cheating in mind because alot of people can't get back on the wagon as you did

Follow your surgeon's diet. If I did my math right, that's about 60g of Protein, which is what my target is, too. And the carbs are limited, which is appropriate. My surgeon is having me drink Protein Shakes, which are expensive. Milk is much cheaper.

      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.
