Did your nutritionist suggest anything? What type of diet are you on? Different doctors use different pre-op diets. For example, some require no dieting and others require three weeks of dieting. Some require liquids only and others allow some meals.

My Dr. has me on Protein low carb diet the two weeks before surgery. They should tell you soon what they want you to eat on your pre op diet. Good luck. My surgery is the 17th. I am so excited!

someone wrote they take lemon juice and warm Water before bed and when they wake up. Not sure if that helps or not. I'm on week one of my two week diet and I haven't lost any weight yet :( my surgery is also on the 17th. Might try a liquid diet next week.

I liked Fage plain Greek yogurt. It is high in Protein and counts as a liquid, too. It tastes like sour cream, though, so it is not to everyone's taste.

Hi, we are having our surgery the same day. I had a pre op class and the dietician went over everything and gave us paperwork on what to eat. And we received info on what to do after surgery. How is it going?

th.Well had my surgery this past Monday the 17th. I was wondering how your surgeries all went? I had lost 9 pounds when I went for surgery. I can't wait to see how much I have lost for the first 2 week checkup! Hope all is well with you.

My first week I lost 13 lbs.. My diet is pretty the much the same as yours. I am amazed at how fast I get full when taking about 3 bites of Soup. I really noticed today how much I am losing. I wore a pair of pants that I hadn't had on since back in the spring. They were really loose. Hope you week is going well. D

      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.
