4th Day Pre-op liquid diet...STARVING!

[healthygoals 0]

This is my very first post and I hope to get some help with this one! My surgery date is August 23rd. I started my pre-op liquid diet on Wednesday. My pre-op diet is as follows:

any combination of 6 of the following: Bariatric Advantage Protein Shake, Meal Replacement bars (no more than 2 a day), and liquid broth.< /p>

I can also eat all the fruits and veggies I want. Here's the problem...I'm starving! I'm looking for any helpful ideas on what I can eat. I've already tried fruit (strawberries, bananas, peaches, & blueberries) and ice in my shake, avocados (the highlight of my diet), herb seasoned steamed california style veggies, and a variety of fresh fruits!

Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks a bunch!

:confused:Well, I don't know of anything except maybe filling up on fluids all the time when you are hungry. I am set for banding this month too--the 26th. I have a 7 day liquid (only!!) pre-op diet. I plan on drinking a lot of Protein Drinks, broth, sugarfree Jello, sugarfree juice, Water with lemon slices, diet V8 splash, crystal light and kool aid with splenda. I know the more belly fat we lose the better things go during surgery. My RN said DO NOT eat anything solid the day before to help with gas pain. I plan on having gas X around just in case though. good luck:thumbup:
