A few days left to go, this liquid diet definitely has its ups and downs. First few days were pretty rough, then I fell into a groove, but I do notice some days are good and some are bad. I had to go outside last night because my family was eating pizza, that was pretty rough. But excited and nervous, and ready to begin this next chapter. I have not cheated once, I am feeling strong mentally for this challenge and this lifestyle change.

FYI: I have ordered some of the Soups off this site, just to give me something more savory as a lot of the broths weren't super great. I got the variety pack, and I have really liked it. I also ordered Unjury's chicken Soup Flavored Protein Powder. Both have been really great, especially while still participating eating with the family, just having the soups. They are great because they have 15 to 21g of Protein and no carbs, fats, or sugars. My 2 week was pretty much Premier Protein and Greek Yogurt, about 800 calories, 50g of carbs and 150g of protein with no fat. So adding the soups in have definitely helped at least get through things, I have juiced a few vegetable juice blends too, just to give myself something other than the sweetness of the shakes and yogurt. Just a few more days... you guys are doing awesome and really enjoy reading the updates!

I love the Premier shakes abd drinks. I'm not too fond of the vanilla. I was given some Isopure today, so I'll try it Sunday. What other food to you plan to try because I can't stomach cottage cheese.< br>

Hi ladies my surgery was 2/27. I wanted to tell you that Amazon has a flavored Protein Water that is not bad. I pour it over ice chips and sip it. Good luck to you.

I struggle with that too I always have to have my drink next to me..im always thirsty.
I think that one will be hard for me to adjust to and remembering not to gulp down my drinks.< br>

I was sleeved April 3. Am I the only one who was immediately put on stage 2 diet the day after surgery? Seems like everyone is on Clear Liquids except me. I actually havent tried eating anything beyond yogurt since coming home because I'm having a hard time with getting it in. I've only been able to drink 1 full bottle of Water on 1 day. Today I'm trying to drink at least one full Protein Shake and 2 waters throughout the day

I had my sleeve done onApril 4. The GERD is pretty awful but tolerable. It should go away as i lose weight. But what is so weird to me is that i feel like i can eat anything. I dont seem to get full. I am in full liquids but i can swallow whole pills that are huge. I can eat a whole packet of cream of wheat. It takes me longer but i still eat the whole thing. I wonder if my pouch isnt as small as most people.

I had issues after surgery but as soon as those were resolved I went to stage 2. I'm having a very low energy day.

      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.
