Started Pre-Op Liquid Diet Today.. Pretty Sure I'm Dying!

[rae.holmes 12]

Well not really, it's just so freaking hard! I am so hungry!

Today I had:

Chick-fil-a tortilla Soup (more creamy than I'm suppose to eat but I was starving and it was the only place I could think of with soup!)

Two premier Protein shakes

One sugar free strawberry Jello

One sugar free chocolate pudding

and half a cup of chicken noodle Soup (before you add Water, so I guess the concentrate?)

I wasn't suppose to have the 2nd soup but I was in pain from the hunger and I'm still hungry now.

Does this get better or am I going to be in pain for the next two weeks?!

It gets better if you can keep your head in the game too! Look forward to what the outcome will be. It's great everytime you see the scale drop even a pound!

It really does get easier after you've done in a few days....Hang in there, you can do this

No fair, I wish I could have Soup. I started my pre-op diet today for a surgery on Feb 8th. All I've got to choose from is Jello, two Protein Shakes a day, broth, apple juice, and flavored water. Blah...it's sad when I get excited cause I get to eat a Calcium chew. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

Want a tease????? 1 year banded and I hardly ever think about food anymore.

That's what you have to look forward to if you hang in there!!!

I wish I could have broth! I would kill for some! Sad huh? I am on 5 Protein Shakes with Water in between. I am on Day 5. I am never starving, but I am starting to get rather cranky because I am wanting to chew something!!!

I started the pre op diet today...I never really ate Breakfast or lunch so I'm good so far. Had my Protein Shake this morning (it was YUM) and sipping on Propel Water. Now when I get home it will be a different story cause that's when I went to TOWN eating. I bought chicken breast and carrots. I'm allowed one Protein that is 4oz and 1/2 cup of veggies. I'm doing this....pain or no pain damn it!

I feel your pain, I started my preop diet yesterday my surgery date is the 29th, I'm drinking my shake now and I have some chicken broth for later but I'm also allowed 3oz of protien for dinner yay chicken lol

You all WILL make it through this part of the journey, I promise. I was banded on 1/27 and did 2 weeks of Pre Op liquids. Just make sure you get all of your Protein in as it does make you feel full and gives you energy. Is it easy? No, very hard BUT once you see the numbers on the scale going down, it makes it a little easier.

Plus it is great practice for once you are banded and on liquids. Best of luck to all of you

I thought I had it bad with 2 Proteins shakes, and for dinner 6-8 oz of lean Protein, 1 cup of veggies (green) and a fruit and I'm truly starving. But I can't imagine what you all are going through with just liquids. Good luck and stay at it, worth it in the end.

I'm on my 3rd day of the pre-op diet and I thought I was going to die to 1st and 2nd day but today things have gotten alot better.

For Breakfast I have a pudding (I warm it up in the microwave, wierd I know but it feels so much filling that way for some reason) followed by a Protein shake.

For lunch I have a Jello followed by a Protein Shake

When I get home I'll sip on some broth and have a creamy Soup (tomato, cream of broccoli or Dumplin' broth)

I also suck on sugar free hard candies all day and popsicles
