Liquid Diet

The nurse said she is going to have the dietician call me to start me on a liquid diet now...since I havent lost the weight I need to lose.  Does anyone know how long they will keep me on it?  My date isnt until March 18th.  Also, any words of wisdom for the LD would be great.  Thanks!  Naomi

I'm not sure how long you'll be on it. I would assume up until your surgery date. Words of wisdom? - Hang in there.... it does get easier. And the best tasting protein drink for me was Slim Fast Chocolate Royale. Yummy!!! I still want to have one; but it has too much sugar.  Good luck!!! Lori

You will find that you will get sick of it fast and will want to cheat-but DON'T.  You need to follow the instructions to the T.  They ask you to do this because they want you to succeed, not because they enjoy torturing us!  I loved SF jell-o, SF Carnation instant breakfast, broth, sf popsicles.

I have no idea how long they will keep you on the LD, but the thing that got me through my LD was SF popsicles because at least you could crunch them!  Good Luck!

I don't have any idea how long you will need to be on the LD. I guess I would stay opn it as long as I needed to...the surgery is so worth the struggles. My surgeon had us drinking High Protein Boost.....loved the chocolate fudge. We could also have broth, sugar ftree popscicles and SF Jello. The Boost kept me full until the next meal time most all the time. I really didn't have any problems with the LD.  Good Luck to you!! Hope it isn't required until the 18th of March but if it is you can do it!!!  Keep you eye on the prize!! Hugs, connie d

I didn't have much luck with the Slim fast, but I did enjoy the Walmart Equate brand Chocolate shakes.(Cheaper than slim fast too) No icky aftertaste.  I used to put mine in a blender with some ice and make like a frozen chocolate shake.  NUMMY!  Good luck.
