I know its so hard! I have people in my local support group that outweighed me by 100 or more lbs and they did not have a liquid diet. I have two people that I have spoken with that had the same surgeon in the last few months and no liquids for them either. It's annoying, but for whatever reason my doctor put me on a 2 week liquid diet too :( Its been hard but I am down 12 lbs as of today and surgery is tomorrow so Im doing only clears today (though he didn't say I had to) Anyways, hang in there, we are almost ready to be sleeved!!

We'll made it thru the weekend. All most there. Hospital called and told me to be there at 7:45

Guess we will all catch up in a few days. Good luck all those who are having surgery tomorrow.

I have a liquid pre op diet that is starting Wednesday and lasts two weeks.

I'm looking forward to it. Its the start of a wonderful journey. It will be very hard... perhaps the hardest part will be the preop... hunger.. only shakes which might taste awful... but its the start of this wonderful chance to be healthier. Focus on all the great stuff that will come with all the hard work.

      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.
