I remember when i was at the point of my pre op diet. I was soooo nervous, and considered not following through. As time got closer to my surgery date, i felt less nervous and more excited. Don't get discouraged. Best of luck!

For me I realized it was my body detoxifying. I quit alcohol, soda, coffee, and fast food right before my pre-op diet. After a few days it will seem like no big deal. And it is worth it! I have lost 100 pounds since February 28th and I couldn't have done it without the surgery or the pre-op/post-op diet. Good Luck!

The pre-op diet can seem a bit of an intimidating challenge, but it can be done! I would highly suggest you get as much variety in as your doctor's plan allows you too. I thought several times about cheating a bit, but I kept reminding myself that if I slip up and my liver isn't shrunk enough that they would have to close me up and not do the surgery. That was all the incentive I needed!

It'll get easier - just make sure you're having a little something every 2 hours and stay away from people who have really good smelling food.

Ok my last day of food before preop was a lunch date with my friend at olive garden and dinner with my hubby at the Mexican place with that good ole salsa. Followed by a trip to Walmart to get my food to start preop tomorrow. Here we go!!!!

      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.
