So I am almost done with one week of my pre-op liquid diet!!! Yeah I’m not going to lie it’s been hard especially since there is food in the house that I can’t have (since my spouse doesn’t have surgery until 3 weeks after mine.) I would kill for some cottage cheese right now!!! But still I am surprised that it hasn’t been as hard as I thought it would be, don’t get me wrong it’s been hard but not as hard as I imagined in my head!!! Before I started the liquid diet I was having two shakes a day and one meal and I couldn’t wait to have that one small meal, so I thought all liquid how was I going to do it?!! I have my final weigh in with my surgeon on Tuesday and then surgery in a week after that!!! I am excited to see how much more comes off me in the next week and in the coming months! Since at my highest a little over a year ago, I’m right at 45 pounds lost!!!

rll22, how is it going? I'm not sure if yogurt is on your liquid diet or not but if it is then you can blend cottage cheese into the consistency of yogurt and add it to a smoothie.

I have just a few days left before surgery (5 days!!! 😳) but I can only have sf crystal light, sf jello, Gatorade zero, decaf tea & coffee and protein shakes so that sounds wonderful, but I can’t have yogurt or cottage cheese. 😕 it’s silly how much I miss actual good food now, it’s not even the junk food I’m craving!!! A nice cucumber tomato salad and some cottage cheese! Yum! oh well I now will appreciate the healthy food as soon as I’m able to eat some!!! Ready for surgery!!!4 -
I begin tomorrow my 2 week diet liquids with jello sf pudding and Greek yougurt. Yea!!!2

On day three down 3 pounds since Tuesday did have 3 slices of cucumber today with my low sodium v8 juice. Doing ok though. How is everyone?0

Down 9 pounds and 2 days left to go. I’m hoping for an even 10. Yea. How’s everyone doing on their liquid diet. I must confess I had 3 celery stalks and 1/2 cup of watermelon yesterday. I needed the crunch of the celery bad0

I'm able to get my protein and at least 60 oz of liquid most days, I love playing pokemon go so that's been my inspiration to walk (to also play the game on my phone)
I'm very ready for the full liquid phase. Tired of clear protein drinks and ready for some yogurt and soup.1 -
I was upgraded to adding cottage cheese and ricotta egg and rotisserie chicken 3 ounces. So much food compare to 1 week ago1
