Good luck... I'm on day# 8. It's been rough for me, but others dot have any problems. It has been much more of a psychological journey than actual hunger

Are you spacing out your food evenly? The first 2 days were terrible, until I started spacing. My day :

8-930am Protein Shake

Noon sugar free Jello

2pm one ounce jerkey

4-530pm Protein shake

730-8ish meal

Kinda feels like I'm eating all day, helps my brain

DAY 2 OF MY liquid diet WAS YESTERDAY AND I'VE GOTTEN UP 4 TIMES TONIGHT TO PEE!!!!! I DIDN'T EVEN DRINK ALOT LATE IN THE DAY I'M OFF TO A GREAT START {)i(} Sent from my iPhone using VST {)i(}

I was the same way! I think I did pretty good. My preop is Protein Shake or bar for Breakfast and lunch. I can have yogurt or small piece of fruit for mid morning snack, mid afternoon snack and evening snack. For dinner I can have 3oz lean meat, stem vegetable or salad with fat free dressing. All beverages must be calorie free.

I was given a diet that included 4 ready to drink shakes per day. I chose Atkins and Slim Fast lo carb. I'm supposed to use shakes with 15-20 gr of Protein for pre-op. I can eat certain things throughout the day so it's not terrible. Had grits this morning and baby bell cheese. broth and Jello for lunch. Great first day!

I'm not on liquids only. My diet includes some foods so it's easier. I'm sure a lot of it is in our heads but just think, you're almost there!! And we're all here to support you.

My diet for 2 weeks is 3 shakes, SF Jello and SF Popsicles for Snacks, and unlimited leafy greens with calorie free dressing. I can also have a minestrone Soup once a day.

I just received verbal ins. co. approval on 9/23. My doctor's office will not schedule with the written approval even though they also received the verbal approval. I hope the letter arrives on 9/25 since that is one week since it was mailed.

When I spoke to the doctor's office today, they told me they are scheduling surgeries for the second week of October. I am hoping for a 10/8 surgery. If that date is not available, then I will have to wait until 10/25 due to work obligations.

I am a band to sleeve revision surgery. My ins. co. waived the six month diet criteria due to lap band complications.

I am very excited and a little nervous even though I know I am making the right decision for me.

Me too. The salad isn't bad, but I put kale in my salad today and it was a bit harsh. I also found some no calorie dressings and they're spicy but good!

I have a fat free balsamic that I tried by naturally fresh.

October 11th is the big day for me! Is my Doctor the only Doc that doesnt have a Pre-Op diet? I feel fortunate but a little out of place

The dressings are by Walden Farms. They are fat, carbohydrate, calorie, gluten, sugar, cholesterol, any and everything free- so the label says.

They also have many other items like chocolate Syrup and Pasta Sauce. I was going to purchase them on Amazon but I found them in the grocery store.
