Has anyone started their preop diet? What are your feelings? Experiences? How are you surviving it?

I started my pre op on Monday and haven't lost a lb. it's driving me crazy. The hunger doesn't hit me till after I get out of work. I work evenings 5pm to 1am so by 12 Ive got mini war going on in my stomache. It doesn't bother me. The no lbs lost bothers me more.

I'm sure it's frustrating...what type of a preop diet are you doing? I would try cutting carbs down to 20-40gms per day to speed up wait loss...I'm personally on the Protein shakes only and Im only eating about 20gm carbs a day.

A shake got Breakfast a good meal w veggies n Protein and my shake for dinner. Today I'm thinking about doing only shakes see if that helps.

I would limit the veggies maybe and eat only Protein maybe...veges have carbs (some less than others) the shakes only is a killer!!! But go ahead and give it a try..we are going to have to eat that way after surgery anyway :)

My doctor's office requires you to do Opti-Fast. It's expensive...I spent over $180 yesterday for two weeks worth of shakes, Soups and bars yesterday. I am not looking forward to the pre-op stage, but I can't wait for post-op!!! Good luck to everyone!!!

      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.
