Today was day one of my 2 week pre-op diet. My diet is very strict allowing only liquids. So far so good. I stuck to it 100% and even worked out at the gym. Am I being delusional in thinking the whole 2 weeks will be like this. If this is as bad as it gets then I can handle it. What is everyone elses experience with an all liquid pre-op diet. Is it going to get worse?:unsure:

I'm sure by day 13 you will be thinking differently haha (then another week or two after surgery, then mushies for a week a or two..). But eventually you will get to eat again!

Maybe you're feeling quite excited that you finally have the date for surgery? Today was my 1st day and it's been hard not to eat! I wanted a starbuck's coffee SO badly today and I don't know how I avoided it. I can truly tell why I failed every other diet...I always say "I can do it later..." With this, I know I can't mess up these next 2 weeks so that's making me stay on track. I hope you continue with your delusions and have a great 2 weeks :)

Is your surgery the 24th also?? I wish it would hurry up and get here!

Day one was great- I was pumped for my surgery and excited it was so close. Plus, it was almost an "adventure" to just have Clear Liquids (broth) and Protein Shakes. By day 3, caffeine withdrawl headaches set in and by day 5 I was grumpy and cranky. Day 7, though, wasn't too bad, because it was the "halfway" mark for the liquid preop diet. The second week wasn't too bad. I actually learned a few things (like I could use the seasoning packets from Ramen noodles to make my broth and that I could had plain Protein Powder to my broth to make it "heartier") and was getting closer to surgery. By the morning of surgery, I couldn't wait to have "real food" (ie: cream of wheat) when I got home.

      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.
