Recommended Posts

Drink plenty of Water in addition to your full liquids. I was told to avoid caffeine since it's a diuretic, but I don't think a cup every once in a while will hurt. Good luck!

My surgery is Friday and I am on fifth day preop liquid diet. The first 2 1/2 days I almost cried several times because I was so hungry!!! I am having caffiene and I am only allowed clear liquids...no veggies or even one small meal. I have lost 10 lbs the first 5 days which gives me the inspiration to continue being strict on my diet. Good luck to you!!!

My surgery is this Friday too. I am on liquid Protein Shakes and my doc is letting us doctor them up a bit with splenda, banana, Peanut Butter, etc. We also get to have a 300 calorie meal. Been doing this for about 10 days now. Down about 5 lbs. already. So far so good. 2 more days to go. Good LUCK!!!! :)

      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.
