I have 1 more week and I will soon be sleeved!! So pre-op diet has been pretty good to me. My doctor requires a 14 day liquid diet and I am halfway there! Today is day 8 and surgery is next Thursday! So excited and starting to get the nervousness feeling at the same time.

So far from last Friday at the preop appt I have gone from 230 to 223! liquid is my friend and I will prevail this preop diet!

Thanks

Nicole

Best wishes the pre op diet is the worst. I had surgery yesterday and am sore but not hungry anymore at all. Much easier to do post op. Hang in there your turn is coming! No regrets here.

My surgery is Tuesday (Jan. 31). Fortunately, my center only requires seven days of liquids so I'm three days in. I'm not hungry, but feel kind of weak (like a zombie). Did you get that feeling? I'm glad its only seven days because I don't think I could keep coming to work like this!

I'll have surgery two days ahead of you... If I can I'll try to let you know how it went ASAP! I'm very nervous, so hopefully passing on my experience can alleviate nervousness for others!

Thanks Diva honored to join you all!

My surgery went picture perfect. Woke up with a bit of nausea they have me meds for and it immediately went away. I was in pain but they gave me some meds anger I was fine. Really not too much pain just really sore belly and the gas issues but again not too bad. I got very nervous that last day, but it couldn't have gone smoother.

Hopefully I will be discharged tonight and I do feel ready to go home. You'll do great!

What about some salads; tuna, chicken, ham or egg salad? Is that soft enough? You can also try potted meats, deviled meats and Vienna sausages { they come in original, chicken, barbecue and hot}. They are all very soft. Just a thought :0)

I did feel like a zombie for the first couple of days. After that I actually feel ok. Just getting anxious. Good luck to you!

      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.
