    I used my cheat day the very first day, and it helped me get my body primed for rest of the time. (2 days down, 12 to go) I found some protein jello's on Bariatric Advantage website and they have 15g protein - NO CARBS. The Cherry is really good too for being sugar free. I found out it's ok...

    Linda, Have you started your liquid diet yet? If not, I built in a cheat day, by starting a day early. It let me feel how hungry I would get and actually today isn't that bad hunger pains wise. Let me know how you are doing. My class is tomorrow and I meet with the dietician again.

    Headache Heck (with 2 Ls)

    I have got a cup of decaf only ice tea, and only took a few sips so far. Just focusing on trying to get my 64 oz of water and protein in first. I was wondering yesterday what I got myself into, but today it better.

    Started liquid diet today

    I am doing better today then yesterday, my stomach wouldn't stop growling all day. Now I have felt it growl and take about 3 sips of protein shake and a gulp of water to get the sweetness out of my mouth. I am also doing better about drinking my 64 ounces of water, almost got it halfway down...

    Started liquid diet today

    I see the dietician on Wednesday for my training class pre-op. I was going to ask if I could puree some fruit into the shakes to make me fuller longer. Right now, I am drinking Muscle Milk Light (chocolate, cookies'n'cream, strawberry and banana creme), and am not sure how fast to drink them...

    Headache Heck (with 2 Ls)

    Would I be better off cutting all caffeine from my life and just have one huge headache? Or keep drinking one glass of Ice tea with a decaf bag and regular bag? I have a pounding headache right now and I know partly it's because my tummy is yelling at me for food (started liquid diet today)...

    Started liquid diet today

    I started my pre-op diet today and I am having a hard time. My stomach is growling like crazy. I don't want to drink the protein shakes too fast, so I tried using a spoon. (not working) I added ice to try to cut the sweetness of the shake. I have taken a sip of water between each sip of shake...

    Hi Jamie, I start mine on Monday, and am worried about burning out on "sweet" protein shakes. I am going to talk to my dietician about savory choices for pre-surgery liquid diet. We can go through this together.

    I was hoping since the cheese melts it would be ok, but I will ask the dietician before I try. I will be on full liquid for a full 2 weeks - not just 2 days. I know I can't puree a hamburger, but soups should be ok (just have to get my protein in daily). Since I plan on mixing my Muscle Milk...

    I start my liquid diet on 9/9/13 and have my class on 9/11/13 for pre op. This is the last week I will be eating red meat in a long time, but I am not really going to miss it that much. My main concern right now is getting the 60g of Protein in daily. Most of the shakes I have are sweet, so I...

    Kinda freaking out now

    I am a HUGE baby when it comes to needles and pain, and I found out today that they submitted on the 12th or 13th. Which means as soon as next week I could get a call with my surgery date. I though I had 5 weeks to go but it could be less then 3. I am not ready, but I want the surgery to...

    Isopure Grape Frost Recipe (pre-surgery)

    I found that this recipe takes away that really weird after taste in the Isopure Grape Frost. This should be used Pre-surgery - during the 2 week liquid diet. (After surgery it would be too sweet due to the Pure apple juice) Ingredients 3/4 cup Isopure Grape Frost 1 cup Apple Juice...
