My doc office sent me a packet but I haven’t gotten it yet. I meet with them Tuesday, so I expect I will get more info at that time.....

But in the meantime, would any of you share what things you can “drink” during the liquid diet?

My nutritionist originally said “oh, 6 Ensure a day is enough to meet your daily needs.”

I will do what I have to do, but 14 days of Ensure all day may make me go batty......

So clear liquid diet basically you can have Vitamin Water I found some Protein water I posted a picture of am not sure if you can find it it has 15 grams of protein I also drink Premier Protein I drink Powerade Zero I found some Soup broth that are 10 mg of protein you do not have to drink 6 ensures a day I'm sure that that will get very old very quick just try to change it up a little try different things see what works for you I'm on day 4 I'm feeling great even though I haven't had food in 4 days I even found sugar-free popsicles there is Syrup flavoring that sugar-free that you can get an add two things to change the flavor like if you got plain vanilla Premier Protein or any type of protein you could have different flavoring like caramel or salted caramel or whatever you just got to do what works for you trust me the first few days I was only drinking Premier Protein chocolate flavored and that kind of got old for sure going to pick up some new ones today.

Premier Protein was my favorite, loved the strawberry the best. I still eat sugarfree popsicles at almost 5 months post-op

My preop packet was awaiting me at home when I got home. In short, yep, I need to do 6 Ensure or equivalent generic brand each day for my two-week diet. I can add flavorings to it and also have the things shown on the allowed beverage list like broth, Vitamin Water Zero, sugar free popsicles.

Believe it or not, I am excited to do what I need to do to get prepped for my procedure!

To all of you on your liquid diet or starting it soon...this will be the hardest thing you are having to do because we aren't used to it. But after a couple days you will feel better! Remember to have your broth when feeling tired and little strength because the salt is important. Just go easy on the broth if you have high blood pressure. I thought I couldn't do the liquid stage but if you want the surgery it is extremely important to shrink the liver. Most Obese or Morbidly Obese people have fatty liver which makes it difficult to perform the surgery. I have heard that some doctors will not do the surgery if they look inside at the beginning of surgery and you didn't do the liquid diet. It feels like hell now because your stomach is still big and hungry. After surgery you won't want even broth at first. The only thing I wanted was ice chips and sugar free popsicles. Good Luck! Hang in there!

      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.
