The pre-op diet does completely bite! The good thing was I lost 10 lbs while doing it. It just puts us that much closer to our goal and everytime you drink the broth remind yourself how FINE you are going to be in the following months!!

Yes. I am 4 days post op and I found that buying Soup and drinking the broth from it taste better than just buying broth. I can not wait to get some mashed potatoes with cheese. Lol

The liquid diet was the hardest part for me. It was like fighting a war without weapons. I couldn't wait to be issued my VSG m16!

Just finished day 2 of pre-op liquid diet.As of this morning I was down 2.4 lbs. Not bad for 1 day! I am not finding it that difficult because I have been trying to keep myself busy as possible during the day. The only time of day when I find it hard is when I am cooking for my family and cant even taste with I am making (am a damn good cook too lolol) Just keep reminding myself that my life has already changed and will never be the same...!! Got kinda sick of the constant food funerals!! gained 7lbs just during the few weeks doing preop testing.. Good luck to everyone!!

Is the post op liquid diet usually 3 weeks. I keep telling myself that my doctor will advance my diet Monday when I go for my 1 week checkup. Trying to make it through.

This is my first time typing on here. So I hope it shows up in the right place. I had surgery on Monday, 22nd. I think we are on the exact schedule! I don't know an answer to your question. I just got excited to find a person who had surgery on my same day!!

      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.
