Hi. I only had to do a 3 day liquid diet. For my pre-op weight loss my doctor let me choose between Medifast Shakes and their "Lean & Green" diet. I opted for lean and green. It is a diet of 800-900 calories a day consisting of 3-4oz of lean protein (fish, chicken, turkey, sirloin, pork tenderloin, seafood) and 1/2 c of low carb veggies or small salad with 2tbsp fat free dressing per meal. Breakfast was 2-3 eggs and a light & fit yogurt or cottage cheese. This was much better for me than shakes. I HATE the shakes. I lost 30lbs in 7 weeks doing that diet combined with exercise.

Hi Dawn, just wanted to wish you all the very best for your surgery. I'm currently sitting in my hospital bed the day after my tummy tuck. I feel wonderful. Her in Australia - Queensland, we had a 5 week diet regime to follow which I had to write down what I had each day. Liquids are hard to get in, but little sips often is best. My dietician said you can only drink what you can and build on that each day. When you feel full, STOP. Have a little read of my blog (about the Grehlin hormone we have). We're all here for you, THIS IS YOUR GIFT TO YOU! Scales are your friend!!! I got rally addicted as did some other friends on here (LOL) It's a great journey your about to go on. enjoy the ride and you'll but just fine! Keep in touch, Sharon

how many days do you have to do the liquid diet, I hope mine is only 3 days, you can do it......it is all for your liver, remember the lady had to return.. not-sleeved due to a large liver?! Good Luck, I'll keep ck on you...........Miss Jay

Are you talking about the Click protein? I bought mine from Amazon and its delicious!!

Dawn how you? did you decide on a protein shake brand?, let me know what you find out, 11 more days...yay!!

I am going to just stick to my 3 weeks liquid and see how it goes. I will keep u updated good luck to u also

I have been doing really well I felt bad yesterday but I think it was the flight. Didn't make it home till 3 am. Today has been a good day and I got some soup down with some of the noodles about a cup. I don't feel sick or overstuffed just wonedering if it was too soon. Can u strecth the stomach like that??

Ty for caring. Only you and one other person seems to care. I hated doing this the first couple of days. But I'm doing better now. A little pain if I do to much. Still alittle nauseated. But now I have a cold. But doing ok I think.
