I start my pre-op diet tomorrow and I am NOT looking forward to feeling like I will starve to death!

Any advice? i.e. better tasting options, seasoning green veggies, etc

Real quick, How long are you going to be on the diet for?

What kind of pre-op as well? Some do liquid, some do low carb, some only have 1 day of clears.

I would like some advise on this also. I start my pre op "liquid" diet in 3 weeks. I get butterflies in my stomach when I think about it.

Well with the 2 week liquid diet I can tell you about. It's not easy. The hardest is the first 3 days. This was my thought and seems to be the consensus. After those first 3 days of your mind and body rebelling it eases up. Just stick to it. It's worth it. I lost 20 pounds during this time. Good luck :-)

It's a liquid with a cup of green veggies a day for 2 weeks. Seems like waaaay too little for anyone so if I survive 3 days... :D

You're gonna question if it's worth it. You're gonna bargain with yourself... If I only eat one burger, no one will know... Keep strong. At least you get a cup of veggies... I still haven't had that much and I'll be 5 weeks Thursday lol

      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.
