liquid diet

I started my liquid diet today and I feel like I am straving! Any suggestions? I have to do this 2 wk. preop. I know a lot of you have already done this, so how did you make it? Also does everyone do a liquid diet 2 wk. preop for RnY? If not what did you do? Thanks

I've posted some recipes that I've made for the pre-op. They are tried and true! Not every surgeon requires the 2 week liquid diet. You make it day by day and minute by minute if you have to. Keep yourself busy.

Can you tell me where the recipes can be found? Thanks a bunch!

On this board. I think the title is pre-op recipes or something like that...there's a soup I made today for lunch and my Elvis one.

Three words--sugar free popsicles.  They really got me through those periods where I wanted something to chew on.  Hang in there--the great thing about it, is it's not forever :)

I live about an hour from the city. They don't have any where I live. We have blizzard like conditions out right now so I can't hop in and get there. It's been snowing bad all week. I should have done it when I was in town earlier this week when it wasn't so bad.

I am suffering right along with you I started my two week liq diet last tues.  There is really no way around it, it sucks!!! But I bought this sugar free already made watermellon jello and man is that stuff good! It has really helped me because I love sweet stuf.  But just know that you are not alone in this. Another thing that has helped is going to this website it really helps if you look at those before and after pics it makes me say Ok I can do this because I want to be there too!!!

The before and after pictures are an eye opener!  I still love to look at them. Good Luck. Phyllis

I'm doing liquids too, my first week is done tomorrow. The first couple of days were the hardest for me. Try to have 5 protein shakes a day, that is helping me alot. I'm also having broth (chicken, beef, vegetable), SF popsicles and SF jello, crystal light, SF flavored water, no sugar added carnation instant breakfast made with skim milk, tea, coffee and of course water. It is really helping to have a drink in my hands at all times, I'm not really hungry......but I don't want to talk about food either. You can do it. My surgery is the 28th.  This is hard but some people have to do more then 2 weeks of liquid, that would be really hard to do. Hang in there!

Just a quick hello.  I live in your area.  I just noticed your profile.  Good Luck and you will be so glad yu are doing the protein shakes prior to surgery.  Makes yu feel better post op.  Are you having an open roux en y or a Lap roux en y? Take care, Phyllis
