The pre-Lap-Band-surgery liquid diet is a requirement that almost all surgeons have you do. It consists of protein shakes that you can get pre-made (Premier Protein is my favorite), or you can make them yourself using protein powders. For my surgery, my doctor had me on 3 weeks of liquid diet prior. After surgery I was on another 2 weeks of liquid diet. That's a total of 5 weeks!
Knowing that I can do the liquids for 5 weeks means that doing it for a couple of days is no big deal. Plus, the energy you get from the process is crazy good!!!
Right now I am sipping on a vanilla coffee shake that I made in my Nutribullet. I used the pre-made Premier Protein vanilla shake, added fresh brewed coffee, ice, and some splenda and blended it all up. It's just like something you would get at Starbucks! Great for a morning treat!
