I am on day 3 of my pre op diet hell. My doc only has me on it for 7 to 10 days and it is full liquids. I was okay for the first 2 days, now I feel like I am the walking dead. I am having difficulty paying attention and losing my train of thought a lot!! I am scheduled for November 8th. One week from today. Very hungry, feeling dumb, but excited.

I remember the first couple of days being tricky (I had a 2 week preop diet that got extended to a 3 week preop diet because my surgery was postponed). I had a liquid diet only (no veggies or anything). For the first week, I pretty much stayed in my apartment as I didn't even want to see food and I didn't really want to see people eating food. That was helpful, actually. I think it was day 5 that I had to leave for work, and by that time I had pretty much become acclamated to being on the liquids. The food smells outside were definitely beckoning to me, but it was easier to ignore them.

I guess the number one thing that motivated me during the preop diet (aside from being deathly afraid of having any complications during surgery) was the rapid weightloss. I ended up losing 20 pounds on the preop diet and the excitement that it generated inside of me was enough to keep me on track. Try to think about that and I bet it will help you get through it!:thumbup:

      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?
