Are you guys on a full liquid diet? I can have a meal a day which has made it somewhat easy for me.

I'm on day 10 of liquid diet. In Australia we can only have 3 shakes with added Water only, 1 pce fruit and 1 sml cup green veggies. 800 calories.

I'm doing great with it so far, as surgery is just round the corner (Tuesday 18th) and I'm keen to succeed..... This is my motivation! Can't wait for Tuesday to come.

Good luck to all of us! :)

I'm on day 3 of pre-op diet, surg scheduled June 27. Protein Shakes + 1 small meal/day, no meat, fish,chicken, low carb, also. First two days were ok, but felt a bit hungry. Woke up this a.m. Feeling great, I am motivated to stick with it so my body is in great shape for the surgery. Pre-op diet is only two weeks. I can do this!

My surgery date is June 27th too. I started the diet a couple of days early because I am ready to get this show on the road! My pre-op diet sounds like yours. The first few days I had a terrible headache, but I am much better now. Still hungry but I am super motivated!

Today was super tricky for me....I have to do the diet but I don't think I am getting enough Protein to keep me from keeping my sugar from getting too low, Today I almost passed out in the store, I checked my numbers in the dressing area really quickly and sure enough I was down to 60 which can get dangerous....... I have only just gotten out of the Hospital For 2 weeks after being newly diagnosed with Diabetes..... Yikes.... These next 7 days need to pass faster I am a nervous wreck!!

That's a great idea if it happens to me again, I am still learning about the disease so I can use all the tricks anyone can give its just being on this diet makes me scared to eat a Carb!!!!

You two should contact your doctors about your blood sugar drops. The afternoon is when I get the most hungry and a bit shaky and so I have my fruit (usually an apple) and some V-8 juice mid-afternoon. That helps me. But I do not have diabetes. I would definitely check with my doctor to find out what to do to prevent those drops in blood sugar and how to prevent them if possible. The Premier Protein shakes have 30 grams of Protein each--one way to get more protein..

I am definitely struggling with my preop diet. I had a scope today which messed up my schedule and threw me off the whole day. Ugh. I usually don't have this big of an issue with diets.

Joy so I called my Primary Care Manager as well as my Bariatric Surgeon today the Nutritionist ended up calling me back and we went over EVERYTHING I have been eating OR NOT in my case.... Turns Out I have not been doing what I am suppose to be doing I am suppose to average four Protein Shakes a day I had been drinking Three I did not notice they adjusted mine on another sheet I was going by the standard..... Oops!!

      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.
