@jiffypop: Thanks for the welcome! As for your question, the 2 weeks is strictly liquids. I can have protein shakes that meet their requirement, like Atkin's shakes, 3 or 4 of them a day. And sugar-free jello, broth, sugar-free popsicles, and that's about all. Every one of us patients have to do this pre-op diet, regardless of which WLS we chose. It's just my surgeon's "way" of doing things, because they have had great success with it. It's easier for him to get to the stomach since the liver will be shrunk more, and they have far less post-op problems. I have to say, today was pretty bad for me though. It feels like I'm starving to death just from one day of this liquid diet, lol.
@Duckslove: That would be great! I'd totally love to just stick to my South Beach Diet that I've been on forever. Maybe I can get away with having liquids for breakfast and lunch, then a baked, skinless chicken breast w/veggies for dinner a couple times a week, or whenever it feels like I just have to eat something.
Thanks for the info gals!
