I start my liquid diet on Nov 19th for surgery on the 26th!!! I'm getting nervous about starving the week before surgery!!! Any suggestions on getting/staying full and/or recipes? ??

I'm jealous that you only have to do the liquid diet for 1 week! I'm required to do 2 and it's not fun!

I haven't figured out the secret to staying full. I'm always starving and my stomach is always growling.

recipes - Peanut Butter, cocoa powder, and orange juice are great mix-ins!

Why are you on a liquid diet ?

Most doctors require a liquid diet before surgery. Some allow meat and veggies too but it's all up to the doctors preference.

I start my 2 week on 11/27 and I'm really worried that I won't be able to handle it. I just don't see it. I'm going to ask if I can at least just have one small meal a day. I'm really worried.

      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.
