Don't start my Clear Liquids until saturday, for 3 days prior to surgery. Had to quit my hormone replacement yesterday. Hot flashes, no fun but I understand my surgeon is being safety conscious.

I have surgery on 11/4 and woke up with a cold. I'm not on special diet just high Protein low carbs but don't know if I can take meds so close to surgery date. Anyone know of safe meds to take!??

I just had the same thing happen to me. My surgery is 11/6. I'm freaking out! I will die if I have to do this preop diet over again!!

Don't panic until you find out what your doctor's pre-op diet is. I read all these posts about liquids diets, then when I got my instructions, I only had to do low carb. Heck, that's Atkins! And how many times have I done that before? I was so releaved. I am day 5 of the pre-op, with surgery Monday the 11th!

      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.
