Hi I'm new to the group my surgery is june 4 in two days!! I'm nervous and scared but happy. My doc put me on a 5 day pre op liquid date but I am so hungry I feel like any min the devil might lead me to touch food...how are you guys getting through it?

I can only imagine how tough it is...my surgeon had no pre-op diet...but even post-op when I was on liquids for two weeks, I was hungry--truly hungry and not just head hunger...it gets better post-op when you can have soft foods and denser protein...just hang in there--in the long run, this will be a distant memory

Yo Abba!, Since I am also June forth, here in Delaware, I know EXACTLY what you are going through. There is no easy way, just keep focused and think of your next steps, I reckon. We can do it!!

June 4th is my day...Worried to pieces. .Liquid diet is the worst thing to man kind except for the weight loss. Started at 242 on Monday 233 today...

My surgery date is tomorrow, June 3, but today is the first day on Clear Liquids. I'm with you guys...I'm hungry today! I've been trying to keep my mind off of it by cleaning my house...it's also keeping me from being nervous about the surgery. I also look at it as a preview of the days right after surgery.

My surgery is the 5th. I've had 2 wks liquid diet. Can't wait for hurger pains to stop. I've lost 51 lbs so far. The 2 nd wk has been a lot harder than the 1st.

@Abba 0604

Lucky you only had one day of the liquid diet but I never heard of just one day though. 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, mine was a week.

[abba0604 18]

Yes I been seeing some crazy days lol. I started Friday and I felt like I was gonna diee...

My surgeon uses Medifast, and the length of time you do the pre op diet is determined by your BMI. I am lucky that I only had to do one week -- I can't imagine doing this for 2. My surgery is tomorrow and for some reason, I'm not nervous -- go figure! I am a conversion from lap band, so there's about a 20% chance there will be too much scar tissue in my stomach to do the sleeve; I hope and pray that's not the case, but by this time tomorrow night I will know for sure!

@Tigerbelle -- you were hungry post op?? That's discouraging! I haven't heard anyone say that hunger was an issue after surgery.

@PainintheGlass -- good luck tomorrow!

Not everyone loses hunger after surgery...especially in the initial phase until you are cleared for puréed or soft foods. But everyone is different....

My surgery is 6/4 also! No preop diet needed, just the day before cleanse, Im nervous for the weeks to come but excited for the future so I think that will help me get through these hard weeks! Good luck! Take care of yourself!
