my pre op diet consists of Protein Shakes for Breakfast and lunch and 6-8oz Protein and veggies for dinner..not bad but no diet is fun! they said you have to lose 10-20 pounds before surgery or they wont do it, something about they dont want you insides to be as fatty? i dont know...i just know i have to lose 10 pounds, but it should be easy to do that on such a strict diet.

Hi I'm scheduled for June 6th! Tomorrow will be day 6 of the dreaded liquid diet :) but so far so good. God must have his hand over my mouth so far or I would have already cheated. But I can not believe that even though I have been hungry it has been ok. I cook dinner for my family ( my husband, my 16 year old daughter, my 12 year old neice and my 3 year old son) and even sit at the table with them while they eat and I am ok. So come on June 6 I cant wait. On June 12 my husband and I will be married 24 years I am hoping that by this time next year I will be back to the thin bride he married!

Hi My date is June 9th also. On day 4 of the liquid diet now and doing well. I'm so looking forward to my big day. I don't think anyone who is not in our situation can really appreciate what this means.

Good luck to you.

Hi Everyone,

How are you guys doing on your pre-op diets? I'm on day 3 and I never knew that so many food commercials came on!!!! LOL I think I'm going to try and mash some cauliflower and dream they are potatoes. I hope everyone is doing well and staying the course.

Thanks so much and the best to you as well :D

Keep me informed on your progress and keep up the liquids. I had to lose the weight my surgeon wanted me to first but because of this will have no liquid diet. You can do it!

Sending Lots of Love your way!

Your Band Sista!

      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.
