I do not have to go on the liquid diet until 3 days before surgery.
I've been doing a mostly liquid diet (protein shakes) with an occasional Greek yogurt with non flavored protein powder added. I've lost 28 lbs in the past month. My surgery is in less than a month. I saw the nutritionist and the medical bariatric doctor both thought the surgeon might let me skip the 2 week meal replacement plan, since I'm losing a fair amount with what I'm doing.
Janice - I'm sure you will do fine with the liquid diet. My husband has had pizza, Chinese food, cookies and candy in the past month; it doesn't tempt me in the least. I guess I have my eye on the long term goals. You will do a great job with it, and I'm jealous your surgery is so close!!

I've been pretty nervous about this liquid diet thing. I was actually pleasantly surprised that I can add small amts of fruit to my protein drinks to make them smoothie like. Also, I can have plain oatmeal with the protein powder added. I just woke up so I haven't had my first one yet. I'll let y'all know how this goes. I hear the first 48 hours is the hardest, so here's hoping to an easy transition. I am very excited that although my surgery is a little under 2 weeks away, I feel like TODAY starts my weight loss journey.

Looks like so far I'm alone on the 17th, but have buddies going on the 16th and 18th. I love that there are so many of us to ask and answer questions of each other, share our feelings and victories, and to know we have a solid base of support here.
I am not getting notifications, and I set up the site! I've got to go back and review all the settings. **sigh**
