So, does anyone else have a fear of feeling hungry? I realized recently that I tend to eat the moment I feel anything remotely like hunger! (I'm pre surgery. rny on March 27th!) Right now I'm lying in bed hungry and wanting to eat, but I know in a week I will be on the liver shrinking diet and I should just suck it up! I'm afraid I will mess up post-surgery since it seems I am always hungry!! Help. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Nope. I was limited the last 24 hours to protein shakes, water, sugarfree jello. No mention of carbs.

I don't think I can sleep, either!! So ready for this!!

I love the Quest Hero bars!! Have you tried those? Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 am tomorrow for my surgery! Sooo early. I'll be thinking of all you other March 27th-ers! Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi, looking for a really tasty vegan protein powder. I tried one I got at Stop and Shop and it was horrendous. Can't remember the name. Thanks in advance!! Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you!! Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Congratulations! My surgery is tomorrow, too!!! You deserve this, and I wish you all the best!

Awesome! Congratulations and keep up the good work! I'm going tomorrow morning at 7:30 am.

Does this mean my liver shrinking diet did not work? I'm scheduled for surgery tomorrow and am worried my liver won't be ok. Today is liquids only. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Any in vanilla or chocolate? Not too thrilled with peanut butter flavor Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you!! I will give it a try!

Also, if you're still on liquids your poop won't be firm. I'd wait until you're on solid foods and then see how it is. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Thanks, all! I was just worried that it didn't work and my liver would still be fatty, and that would impact the surgery. Guess I'll chill out!! [emoji4] Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Whey protein isolate is ok for folks who are lactose intolerant. I am, and I can drink it with no problems. I cannot, however, drink Premier Protein. Really upsets my system. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Why are you worried? It sounds like you should be approved. What did your surgeon's office say? They likely know why folks get denied and would have mentioned it if something looked off. Good luck, and try not to worry! Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

That's great, mousecat88! Good to hear it. I hate feeling hungry all the time!! Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I love this thread! My RNY is Wednesday and I love the success stories . I plan on joining you all! Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Thanks, GradyCat. I'm glad to hear that! Very hungry today on day 6 of pre op diet!! Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Good luck! How long were you on the pre op diet? I only lost 4 pounds so far. My body is holding on to every bit of fat!! You'll do great tomorrow. Mine is Wednesday.

Good luck yo you!! You've got this!! Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Wow, sarah50, you look awesome! What an inspiration you are! Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi. The doctors dont pump your stomach full of air, but they do pump carbon dioxide into your abdominal cavity so they can see what they're doing. Research what is done during laparoscopic procedures, such as the gadtric sleeve. This has nothing to do with the pre op diet. Some doctors don't require a pre op diet, and some do. Don't worry, it'll be fine. But you may have gas pains afterwards. The gas is not in uour stomach or intestines though. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

My favorite thing on the diet so far is raw veggies, especially peppers! They're so crunchy and raw veggies seem to fill me up. Im allowed 2 cups of cooked, or 4 cups of raw veggies a day.

I hope someone can explain to me why people have trouble swallowing after surgery. Is it due to nausea, and you just feel like you're going to throw up? The surgery doesnt involve the esophagus or throat, so I just don't get it!! My RNY is in 5 days, so maybe I'll figure it out the hard way, but I hope I don't have problems swallowing!!
