I have offically started my liquid diet today, surgery is scheduled for April 16. All I have is 3-4 cans of Protein shakes per day, and any liquid with zero calories and zero carbs for 7 days.

So far so good - I know it will rough but well worth it! :huh2:

Good luck and much success to all the April Avengers

Good luck with your surgry on the 16th and prayers will be said for you. It's rough at first but we can get threw this. I just lost 16 pounds on my diet and I was on it for 6 days and I still have 4 days to go before surgry. Believe me, I am sooooo sick of Jello..LOL...Keep us inform with how things go for you..Take care!

Kristy,

Thank you so much for the prayers!! I am a firm believer in prayer and I feel that one can never have too many said for them. I will be here anytime you want to talk about Lousisiana.

I really enjoyed living there. I am originally from California and I came to Louisiana by way of Memphis, Tennessee. I have lived a few places due to my job. When Katrina hit, my office was destroyed and my job asked if there would be anyone that would be interested in a transfer. Well, since I am not a native, I said that I would like to move. So here I am in El Paso. I love it here. I am a "bloom where you are planted" kind of person and I have learned to like my new home. The only thing is that I cant get a shirmp po' boy anywhere!! ROFL :biggrin2:

Honestly, I am so ready to give all of that up and to move on to the next phase of my life with somthing that will be so much better for me.

WE can do it!!!

Have a blessed day,

Nancy :huh2:

According to my paper that I got from My dr is to drink slim fast, Advantage, or Edge 3 times a day. Yes you can drink crystal light. He told me that I can drink anything that is CLEAR..Chicken broth or beef broth...I just buy the Soup in the can and strain it and let my neice eat the noodles.But every Dr is different. My surgry is april 14 and I only have 12 days to be on the diet before surgry..I hope this helps some people..

I can do the chicken or beef broth, I was kinda surprised that you can't just do the "Soup at Hand" and get like chicken & Stars, because there really isn't anything there.

Well, this the end of day 2 on liquids. It's really not bad at all. I have to have at least 100mg Protein each day and 800-1000 calories. Suprisingly, I haven't been as hungry as I was eating "good for you" foods.

      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.
