14 days till I start pee op diet and I'm really worried I'm gone spaz out and eat everything in the house. I know once I get my surgery on the 25th I'll be fine. Any tips on making it through it? Good luck to everyone who is having theirs soon.

I am so nervous too!! My co workers are so sweet they said they will try it with me for support. We can vent together surgery buddy lol

So liquid diet sucks. I knew it would but mannnn lol. My preop diet says I'm allowed 3 shakes a day, 64 oz of Water and I can have up to 4 pounds of steam green veggies per day.

Now I know it says I'm allowed, but I feel like the veggies are cheating in a way. Someone free my guilty conscious if I eat green food! I just wanna masticate something :P

Defiantly ask your surgeon you don't want anything hindering your special day.

Yeah that's what I thought. I am terrified this cold will set me back and I am so ready to have the surgery done. Thanks for your input ☺️

We'll here I go! First thread post for me. I go in the morning for an EGD. Begin my 2 week liquid diet on Nov 12 and go under the knife Nov 26. Going to be hard missing the holiday celebrations gathered around food. I just have to keep telling myself that this needs to be done so I can be around longer to enjoy more holidays to come with my kids.

      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.
