The liquid diet that is recommended is a high protein diet, 800 calories a day, thats equivalent to 5 1/2 packets of carnation instant breakfast, or 4 cans of high protein slim fast shake cans. You can also have sugar free popsicles and sugar free jello. Good luck if you decide to use it as a tool. I'm currently on it myself on day 7.

I did the same as Shawa stated but with the carnation instnat breakfast I had to have one shake a day.. I lost 30 pounds in two weeks on that liquid diet.. I drank 5 packets in milk and one shake.

Mad mad english mad here did 4pints of semi skimmed milk a day for 10 days....
Wasn't hugry didnt cheat. it was easy.
Not sure I would recommend it though...

Considering how much things are going to change after surgery missing out on those last suppers might be missed... Your still in contorl up until your diet becommes active..

I have to admire you for thinking of loosing before surgery, but dont beat yourself up if you cant...
You will feel a whole lot different once you have a pouch... Food will bug you but you will need so little and if your lucky you wont actually feel hungry for months... It really did and still surprises me I can go without eating for ages... Not the right thing to do I know... Havingto remind your self to eat is not being in control...

So.... my advice is change a little if you want to, enjoy your favorites before you commit to the diet they might be a long time away being tollerated again...
