I'm getting sleeved on march 18th and today is the first real day of my pre-op diet. I'm really excited but I am STARVING! Does anyone have any suggestions or "free" food that is filling? Thanks y'all.

meat, veggies and shakes. They are not free, but they are not carbs or crap. If you have to do Clear Liquids, add Protein to broth or have an extra shake. Have lots of hot tea and Water. Keep the protein up to help with hunger. I figured it was better to have an extra shake rather than blow it having a carby food that would negatively impact my liver and thus... My surgery. A huge piece of this is just sucking it up and doing the thins that we need to do. Hang in there. Best of luck.

I am on day 2 of the preop diet with surgery on the 21st. I purchased Isopure Protein powder from GNC. I have Mango/Peach (I think it has peach). It doesn't taste too bad. I am also drinking Pure Protein drinks from costco.

At dinner I get to have a small portion of meat and vegetables. dinner has never been so satisfying.

Good luck,

Jay

try adding a small spoon of Peanut Butter. I was 95% perfect on my pre-op diet. I did lick peanut butter every now and then. I lost 8 lbs in one week. Chantalen.....You really have to do it for 21 days? that sounds like a long time. Good luck to you. Remember its your life. So do what the dr. says.

Yeah my doctor requires patient with a High BMI or weight over 300lbs do the pre op for 21 days, I only know a few ppl who have been on it this long... And one person who had to do it for 4 weeks (because her weight was over 400lbs)

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
