Day one wasn't so bad! shakes aren't terrible and I never felt hungry! Did a food diary on fitness pal and also hard copy in a notebook! Hope they hurry up and get my surgery scheduled!

Good luck!

I've been on my pre-op diet for 2 weeks now. My surgery is 8/23. The first few days were really difficult for me, because I'm at work most of the time and my co-workers get take-out every day, but now it's not so bad. I've lost 17 pounds so far, so that has motivated me to keep going.

Hey I started my pre-op diet today also!! I don't fell super hungry but I do feel kinda shaky and with a headache I am hoping within the next few days my body gets adjusted to this new diet and feel better.

Good luck! I just had surgery 5 days ago. Pre-op diet was tough for me. Totally psychological mind games about food...even though I didn't want to eat it. It seemed to get harder as I entered week 2. Not sure why. Then eventually by day 16...my dr. wouldn't clear me for surgery so I was delayed 3 days. Seriously it was the toughest thing. I lost almost 30 pounds in 2 weeks. I really tried to stick to the diet. I stopped all carbonated drinks cold turkey.

I feel ya! I ate a hand full of cashews today. I'm at a meeting and had some Soup broth. I just found out that potato was used to thicken it!!! Well, I officially had my cheat!!!! Back on the wagon!! Onward and upward!!

Good Luck! I'm also on my pre-op liquids...dragging onto day 4....There IS a light at the end of the tunnel. RIGHT??!!

[alliemm 24]

I'm on day 6. Surgery for me is on the 14th. I have no more cravings and I have lost 12 lbs. 4 more days to go! I did cheat the first day. The first 3 days were the hardest for me. I thought of food, I dreamt of food... Now I don't care. I'm not reaching for Snacks, but a bottle of Water. I have come a long way in 6 days. Good luck to everyone!

What are your limitations on the Pre Op liquid diet for y'all? I'm to drink 6-8oz non- calorie liquids like Water with crystal light or mio and tea and then 6-8oz glasses of fat free milk with the Carnations Breakfast essentials no sugar added powders. There are some other options of lactose intolerant things but this was the main one. I can also have sugar free Jello or popsicles and broth as long as it's less than 15 calories per serving.

How does this compare to the other diets out there?

Oh, and I'm only required to do 8 days, but I think I'm going to do 12 for good measure.

I am on day 4 of 14 for my pre- op diet. I am having a really bad time of it at the moment. I feel physically ill most of the time and shake a lot. The headaches are lessening though thank goodness. I am just doing it through food as I can't have the shakes recommended but my surgeon as they have lactose in them. So I have half a banana snd a cup ofmskim milk for Breakfast, 1-2 cups of vegetables twice a day, 2 serves of fruit and 2 serves of 100 g lean Protein. That's it. No caffeine, no milk etc...it's a killer...
