I was only required to do a liquid diet the day before surgery. It sucked really bad' date=' especially since my surgery was delayed a day!

Just remember- this liquid diet won't end the day you have surgery- it continues for 3 weeks after your sleeved. I am on day 2 post op and it still sucks very bad.

Be sure this is really something you want to do. You won't ever be able to eat the way you did before. I miss food very badly. It is hard to cook for my family and not eat anything. :(

I am only consuming Popsicles, Protein shakes, Water & propel. Nothing else.

9 to be exact lol yea Water helos but for some reason I think tomo is gonna be a tad harder at work n crap.....lol

You shouldn't feel this bad the entire 10 days, just the first 3 or 4. You'll be surprised how good you feel on so little nourishment after that. You'll have energy too!

I had two weeks before and 3 weeks after. If you do it right? You'll not have to do it again. It is well worth it to be safe for surgery and heal!!! Good luck!!

Yea thankfully my job gave me today off I really needed it im trying to stay busy and Water definitely helps make my belly full but the head hunger is a bi!* im not bout to lie every fast food spot looks more appealing shoot to be honest VEGETABLES look like a steak dinner with a slice of pound cake and a tall sweet lemonade......I KNO ITS ONLY DAY ONE....BUT I think ill get thru it...never knew how much I would miss chewing.....

Hello and I'll pray for the strength u will need to get threw this! Question: I've yet to go threw thus bc I have the class on June 13th, so I'm wondering, I realize its liquid but will they not let you chew sf gum while on it, its not like ur gonna swallow it, I hope:)

      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.
