June 28th is the start of my new life. I am on day 3 of my 14 day liquid diet and seem to be doing pretty well. I have my pre-op tomorrow and look forward to talking to my surgeon about what she considers a liquid diet. I have been drinking instant breakfast, tomato soup, V-8, jello, strained chicken noodle soup (tastes better than broth) and lots of Crystal Light. I have not had any desire to cheat. Good luck everyone.

I will be having surgery on the 25th, and I am into my 5th day into the liquid diet. There are times that I feel hungry also, and I do feel like cheating, but it helps when you have somebody here to support me which also helps. Good Luck and I hope that everything goes great for you. Deb T

This was day two of my liquid diet and smart one. Let me tell you I really want to cheat. I am so hungry. Does this go away? I haven't but I sure want to. Any suggestions??

Welcome! I'm pretty new, too. Just a week or so. My date is 6/23. I don't know what to tell you. My doc has me on MediFast 5 & 1 plan, so I do get to eat solid foods. I started drinking protein shakes for lunch and breakfast a couple of months ago to get used to it. Even so, I don't know how I will do post-op. That's got me somewhat nervous, but will deal with it then! Best of luck to you. Just a few more days! :) Take care. -margaret

I have had my surgery date set for June 21st, but I'm new to this message board. I'm excited to climb aboard the skinny train. I'm having a hard time with the liquid diet before surgery though. I'm a week into it and I feel like I'm starving. I know it's only like a week away but it's really getting hard. Does anyone have suggestions to make this a little bit easier?

Good luck! I am having a Realize band day after tommorow. When do you start the liquid diet? I have lost 12 pounds prior to the surgery on the liquid diet. What a losers journey we are going to be on! Awesome!

Mine is low-carb until 2 days before, but I started liquids last week so my liver would shrink enough or my surgeon won't do it! I'm having the Gastric sleeve!
