My pre op diet is very minimal like broth, and slim fast, Decaf coffee, sugar free Jello. I don't have a dietitian or nut, I did email my contact, she didn't seem too worried about the weight gain. I'm having surgery in Mexico and its a 15 hour drive for us, I don't want to get there and them not be able to do it that would be devastating!!

My date is July 2nd! I started my one week pre-op liquid diet yesterday and it is ROUGH! My Dr is Dr Kim and I'm terrified to eat anything becasue I want my liver to be well enough for surgery but I am so needing to chew something. Any help or tips would be appreciated!

Have you tried chewing ice (like crushed ice?). That always helped when I needed something to eat but wasn't allowed during my inductions with the boys.

I got my date today! It's July 8th! I'm a little anxious because my surgeon likes a 2 week pre-op diet but the date is less than 2 weeks away! I started the diet tonight. I happened to have a support group meeting tonight and my dietitian was there and I talked to her about it; she said it would be okay.

I am 4-days in with my liquid diet. Yes, I will admit I ate 4 small cashews yesterday when I was traveling for work on my flight home but other than that nothing else. I chew a lot of Sonic Ice but overall I have done well. I have lost 5-lbs...praying my 4 cashews will not hinder my July 1st surgery date....pushing Water today and the next 4-days to flush everything out as much as I can. Good Luck I know you will do well ~

      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.
