I did not do a pre-op diet. Although I was instructed about a week before to lay off the carbs and do a shake for Breakfast and lunch and then Protein and veggies for dinner, and the day before surgery no greasy food, soft foods only.

I started my pre-op liquid diet on Thursday. My surgery date is Nov. 15th. Last night I didn't feel good at all I was really hungry. Today I am doing a little better. This is harder than I thought it would be. shakes make me a little nauseous so I am hoping I can convince myself that im consuming something so delicious that will make me healthy and thin...lol wish me luck! :)

My doc told me 5 day of liquid diet but I am doing 12 because I hear most people my weight have to do longer and I don't want any complications. I get nauseated with Protein Shakes as well. I agree the colder the better I have tried so many and I find I like muscle milk banana the best 25g of Protein in each shake.< /p>

Hiya- My surgery date is November 15th and i have been on the Pre Op diet for 4 days now. I HAVE LOST 4KG ALREADY (Which is something like 8 pounds). My diet is:

1x Optifast shake

broth, Green Veg only, Tea with no sugar or milk and ONE small piece of lean Protein with dinner.

And of course lots and lots of water!

Im feeling really positive for once! The first day was definitely the hardest so far, but then i found out that i could snack on basically unlimited amounts of Cucumber/ Celery and that saved my hunger pains!

I would love for you all to get in touch with me if your surgery is around the same time, need support and to compare notes with you all!

P.S I dont know if this is relevant but i am 18yrs old from New Zealand

Thanks

Ash

      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.
