I just got my surgery date today for Aug. 15th!!! I am so excited! I start my all liquid diet Aug. 8th (I am so dreading it) :/ Any suggestions to get through my two weeks of all clear liquid diet?

If you're having surgery on the 15th, you'll need to start a two week clear liquid diet on the 1st or 2nd. :)

Truthfully, the clear liquid diet pre-op is the hardest part of this journey, IMO. You're going to have to psyche yourself up for it. Just remember that it's a short time of deprivation in order to improve your health and appearance 100%.

Stick to your doctor's plan, but ask for a specific menu plan. I was allowed things on my diet that others weren't, and denied things that others were allowed to have.

Good luck! I'm an August Sleever too (2011).

I hear that a lot from people but my doctors office only requires the all liquid diet one week before surgery idk why that is but I am glad that it isnt longer then that...and yes very true. Good luck to you! Keep us updated!

      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.
