Hi, I am scheduled for June 27th. I just started to 2nd week of the pre-op diet, which calls for 1000Cal/day and I can eat solid foods, like Lean Cuisine etc. Some people mention here that they eat only liquids as pre-op diet. (???) I hope I did not misunderstand my doctor.. How is your pre-op diet?

I'm the 27th! Heather, every doctor has different guidelines for their pre-op diet so I'm sure you didn't misunderstand him. Mine is 2 shakes and 2 small meals (high Protein no carb). And I know some people are on full liquids, and some don't have a pre-op diet at all. It's just up to your doctor!

Hi Rbmk,

I think our pre-op diet is similar. I have to eat 2 shakes and 2 frozen meals, plus raw vegetables per day.

Tonight, I slipped.. I was invited to a dinner party and I had 2 glasses of wine. At least it was not a whole bottle :) I am not happy about it.

I am banded! Overall I'm doing pretty good. Sore from bloating in my upper stomach area but my doctor said that would pass in a few days. I go home shortly and I can't wait!

I am glad to hear that you are fine. I did not experience the shoulder pain, but they say that it goes away in a day or two.

      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.
