I know it's hard ... but if you don't do the pre-op diet, your liver may not shrink like it is supposed to. So, you end up paying for a surgery that only opened you up and closed you up. It's just 2 weeks. YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

I didn't have to do liquids, so I can't tell you how it worked for me. I had to do really low carbs and sometimes that was hard enough, but it's 2 weeks, which will probably suck, but will definitely be worth it in the end. I remember I stuck with the cabbage Soup diet for 2 weeks once. THAT was torture. I truly believe you can do it! I hope your two weeks goes by really fast, and the evil fries quit begging you to eat them.

Here is what kept me going with my Pre-Op diet: If I didn't do it, likely I would go through the whole motion of surgery - anesthesia, payment - all that, just to wake up without my sleeve. Can you imagine how upsetting that would be?

Anyway, knowing this I hope it keeps your mind straight. You CAN do this!!! Trust me.

My motivator was if I eat those fries my liver will not shrink and it could kill you. If I wanted candy, that is what I would think that one small candy bar could kill me if my liver has not went down in size. I lost 10 pounds in one week on liquid diet. I had egg drop Soup, broth from top roman noodles, sugar free popsicles, diet soda a few saltines every now and then.

You can do it.

      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.
