Hey everyone I finally finally finally got my surgery date! I'm so excited! My surgery date is May 1st, would love to know anyone who has the same date. When should I start my pre op diet? I have noticed that from the pre op diet people have lost anywhere from 10 to 20 pounds! Would love to know what were you doing? And any recommendations for me from here on out

I lost about 35 pre op but that included my whole 6 month diet and all that. I dont remember how much I lost on my 2 week pre op diet. All in all I've lost 60 pounds though.

It will be 3 Protein shakes a day, then one lean Protein with veggies meal. I'm probably going to have that meal at lunch, just so I can get thru my work day without biting someone's leg!!

But seroiusly, it makes sense also to eat heavier earlier in my day, so I can burn off more calories .is yours similar? I ordered unflavored Protein powder, plus this stuff called Pro Go Elixir in white grape, you had it to your Water, kinda like that Mio stuff at the grocery store, but this has protein, it's Bariatric Advantage.

I had a 2 week pre-op diet with 2 shakes a day and a small meal with 3 oz lean Protein and vegetables prepared with no extra fat - lost 13 lbs during that 2 weeks and my surgeon loved my liver! LOL - Congrats on your date!!! :D

My surgery isn't until May 21 so it will be a little while before my pre-op diet but it will consist of two weeks of liquid only, then the last day of Clear Liquids and nothing after midnight the day before surgery. The two weeks of liquid will be 4 Protein Shakes and clear liquids in between. Yes, it's all about shrinking the liver I believe.

      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.
