Hi. I'm starting my all liquid pre-op diet tomorrow and am a little anxious about it. I feel like i've been eating everything i see today as its going to be my "last meal". Am i the only one who feels or has felt like this?

I start today too, im trying to wrap my head around this, 65 grams of Protein a day, stay under 1200 calories, and im starving, i have Protein Shakes, sugar free jello/pudding, cream of wheat, creamed Soups, trying to think of other things i can add. the guy at GNC said to take the colon cleanse, it has no calories or protein but helps you feel full, i dont see a difference yet. but its only been one day. what are you drinking ?

I am on 5 medifast shakes a day. They come in 6 different flavors and I honestly have to say they're really not so bad.. I'm almost through day 2 and i do have to say that i'm very hungry. My head has been a little fuzzy throughout the day and I definaetly dont have the energy.

I start mine Feb 6. I have a choice, either 6 Optifast shakes a day & 1 bar or 5 shakes & 2 bars, plus any SF Jello ice pops crystal light etc that I want. I think that it is funny how varied these pre-op diets are!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
