It is interesting how each person is different with the preop diet. I did not have to do one. I am starting to think it prepares you because I am 5 days postop and I am having a hard time with liquids and am starting to get hungy. Good luck to you!

Yes I think it does prepare you because you have no choice after the surgery so I'm thankful my dr has put me one it

My doc puts his patients on it to shrink the size of your liver pre op so the surgery is easier and to promote weight loss before the band. It will be interesting that's for sure lol

Yes that is what I have heard also to shrink the liver /. Soften it so this helps me so much to stick to the dr orders in fear that my liver won't be what it is supposed to be an the surgery delayed. I have learned these past week my mind has played a big big BIG part of my weight issue.

      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.
