I am on day TWO of preop liquid diet and just ate 4 skittles (my kids). What is my problem? How am I ever going to be successful post op? Will I need to be sedated for 2 weeks so as not to cheat?? I just feel deprived and sneak in a few cheats here and there' date=' hence the reason I am overweight and never successful with dieting![/quote']

Don't be hard on yourself we all cheat hell I went to Chinese buffet 3 days prior to surgery now I don't even get tempted surgery really helps this is the best thing you will be doing for yourself :) good luck

I am on day 2 of pre op diet and I was feeling very sick to my stomach from all the Protein shakes. So' date=' instead of totally falling off the wagon, I had 3 deli slices of turkey. It settled my stomach and I finished the day on a good note.

I am looking forward to surgery next Wednesday.

Good Luck and hang in there.[/quote']

My pre-op diet is just low carb not liquid, for 1 week only. Then reading the instructions said it took 10 days to show a change internally. So why am I only on it for one week then. Then I read some don't have a pre-op at all.

I don't get it. I'm afraid I'll mess this up

The preop diet I was given started a week a ago, 1 Protein Shake a day meat and veggie is all plus an endless amount of Water it seems like...lol

I totally relate to these posts. I am on day 10 of the pre op liquid diet and having a really hard time today. I only have today which is all most over, tomorrow, Monday and Tuesday goes to all clears and then Wed is the day. I am on day two of my period and so extra emotional today. I went from so strong to extra weak!!! So frustrated. :(

Will be saying a pray for you Szingaro

Also...pour ur chocolate shake in a mug and heat. The hot broth, herb teas and hot chocolate shakes are comforting. Hang in there. We will make it!

Your Protein shake texture didnt change when you heated it up?

O.M.G. day 2 of my 7 day Protein Pre Op then 3 day clear. I have MAJOR headaches due to this drastic change in diet! I'm SOOOO tired even after my Adderall meds. The diet I don't mind so much (yet) as I'm vegetarian & love salads. I went to Aldi & they're version of Crystal Light is Fit & Active brand, to be diluted in 2qt of Water. Super cheap ... great value! Make a pitcher & your ready to go. Also their Fit & Active dressings are low fat, carbs, cals & so good! I rotate dressings for variety! It's super affordable & I am happy I saved a bunch of $$ going there.

      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.
