Hey y'all, I was the same on the pre-op diet! I was STARVING to death! Told my hubs I was thinking about backing out of surgery just so I could go eat! I went on the 17th, did the surgery, and woke up with a completely different attitude about food! I wasn't hungry anymore and food didn't have the hold on me that it used to! I would lay in the hospital watching pizza commercials and be like whatever ... they didn't bother me at all! Just hang in there you guys! The hunger will be gone!!! I'm only 3 days out and surgery wasn't nearly as bad as I expected!

I had surgery the same day. My heartburn was so bad I had to stay another day. I know what u mean about them commercials ..there's one on right now lol. My tummy does growl..I do feel physical hunger but its going to be trial and error till I figure out what's its like to feel full and what's content.

Wow! Its crazy how it can affect everyone so differently. I don't feel hungry at all. But after I sleep and wake up I can tell that I'm empty. But my 1oz Fluid cup handles that!

This gives me hope. It is so hard and I have 3 more days. I am only on a liquid diet the day before the operation, but if I gain any weight they will not operate. I had to reach a goal weight and I am fluctuating some much that I am getting nervous. :(

The pre-op diet wasn't so bad. When I was on the liquid diet, I thought I was going to die. I cried a lot! But at the same time it just reminded me of why I needee this surgery. Its crazy to think that I could get so upset just because of food. :( All of that is different now and I am so glad. Once I heal up and can start exercising, I think I will finally be able to lose weight!

My pre-op diet is a full liquid diet for 2 weeks prior...one more week to go...I've caved and cheated a few times, but was never anything too bad for me. I had an egg and egg whites the other day for dinner I was just soo hungry. I'm still down 16.5 lbs in 20 days so I shouldn't complain too much

Hang in there. The first 4 days were the hardest. I'm doing a little better now. I had to mourn the loss so food and caffeine. I decided after my few days of being depressed to pull myself together and start being creative. Make some fun out of it. I'm experimenting. I tried one shake and gagged. Another was pretty good.

I also realized I've been wanting to do this for years. I'm tired of being fat, unhealthy, and on 10 medicines due to being overweight. I want to live a long full life.

We are in control and we an eat, but we can also be in control of our lives now. I wish you the best. You deserve it!!!

I lucked out with the surgeon change. I went a week no food and when they had to change surgeons (my surgeon was admitted to the hospital) the new one had a less restrictive diet. So I was able to eat a chicken breast or fish once a day with green vegetables. Only done it a few times since I got the ok.

I was sleeved on September 10. My first week was hard cause I wasn't really getting a lot down, because I was scared I was going to over drink or eat. I had the worst case of gas for the first week and could barely move,I was trying everything and nothing seemed to work. As of the last couple days I've been doing better and eating and drinking more so it does get easier as time go by.

      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.
