2 week liquid pre-op

I have an appointment tomorrow, Im nervous

You can do it! Just think about the end results! Also avoid walking by any restaurants because everything suddenly smells delicious to me!

I am on day 10 of 14 of my liquid diet (Optifast) the first 3 days were very hard. I honestly wanted to cry. I am shocked that it's been 10 days. I am glad to get it over with though.

Good for you, you've almost made it to the end!! Keep us posted and let us know how you're feeling after surgery. Wishing you lots of luck!

After the first 2-3 days, I thought it was pretty easy. I drank 3 Labrada Lean Body Ready to Drinks a day.

BUT what kept me sane was I had a cup of coffee in the AM and PM.

I have never heard of Labrada. I'll have to look it up! Overall it hasn't been bad since I wasn't eating much before. It's just of course since you can't have it, you crave everything!

Labrada is big in the weightlifting community. He was an ex pro bodybuilder. Sugar free, Lactose free, Gluten free. 40 grams of protein and 9 grams of carbs.

I had the VBG last time and didn't have to be on a liquid diet except for the day before the horrific bowl prep!!!! I ate very light for the few days before hand to "prep" myself. This time around I am told it will be a 10 day liquid diet for the shrinking of the liver purposes. I hadn't asked if they require a special protein shake or if we can just pick it. I already use a plantfusion one, but also add a banana or berries and vanilla greek protein to it for more protein and to make it more easy to drink.

Good luck, just keep your eye on the prize!

Ugh bowel prep is the worst! That liquid you have to drink is enough to make you sick, not including the awful bodily functions that happen after! Best of luck to you! We can do this!

I just started my two week prep diet as well. Mine is not so bad, as I replace 2 meals with either protein drinks or Quest bars, 16 oz of skim milk and one meal of condensed protein/produce. With my revision from sleeve to RNY, they are moving me from liquid to 'mushy' foods at 2-3 days post. I have been spending a lot of time making sure I have all that I need for post, food-wise.
