Hey loves. I wanted to do a quick update. My doctor placed me on a 2 week liver shrinking diet and tomorrow is Day 1. I feel so blessed to have finally made it this far. 8 months of struggling with my weight going up and down but I did it. My boyfriend is actually done a 180 and is also doing the liquid diet with me. I wanted to thank you each for the comments on my last post and the advice you gave. It really meant alot and gave me the push I needed. We are stocked up on broth, Protein Shakes, Jello, and etc. Any advice for those that are going through the liquid diet?

Find recipes you enjoy eating. If the liquid diet is forcing yourself to chug down stuff you dont like, youre setting yourself up for failure.

You dont like one shake, try another. Then try mixing it with pudding, making icecream, fluff, mugcakes, artificial sweeteners, syrups, with coffee.

Theres literally thousands of ways to get creative. If youre not enjoying the things youre eating, its not gonna be pretty

The first 3 days of liquids were tough for me, just get through those sugar withdrawals and you’ll be fine! By day 4 I felt normal again. I lost 10lbs during those 2 weeks so that was a great incentive to keep chugging along! Good luck :-)

My doctor only required 3 days liquid diet. I did 4 days because I get tired of eating crap.
Today was my third day and am not having any problems. I stopped diet soda last year. I am not a candy eater. I just eat too much food.
Can't wait till Tuesday fools around.

      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.
