What all is ok to eat? I have been having broth, sugar free popsicle and fudge pops. Gatorade, crystal light. Yogurt and malt o meal. I have been feeling sick, no energy, constant headaches, constantly hungry... Its only day 4. First day I cheated had a mini bagel second day cheated and had a salad. I am trying to make this work but I am going crazy! My aunt has been my biggest support but she said she only did a pre op diet for two days so I am pretty much on my own now.

where is your Protein Shake? ? You need those and start taking your bariatric vitamins....What did your dr. advise you to do??? How long of a pre op diet do you do? Usually its 2 weeks and then i think its clear liquid last two days or so...Im not there yet...start mine lat the end of this month. I was told a shake for Breakfast and lunch and one more during the day and a small 200 calorie frozen dinner that is low carb and sugar...i have specifics but dont have them in front of me.....The dietician should have given you this info.

I had my final appointment with the surgeon earlier this week. The appointment only lasted 5 minutes and he wouldnt answer my questions. Mostly all the appointment was for was me getting a note to be out of work it seems. He said there is a clear liquid diet but didn't say when to start it. The pre op at the hospital is on the 12th (Surgery on 16th) Apparently I find all that out at that appointment.

I would call your Dr. Office and ask them..this stuff is very important. Is the surgery October or November?

      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.
