I give respect to any and all that do a pre surgery liquid diet. I was one of the lucky ones that didnt have to do one.

Hang in there.

I didn't have to do one either. And trust, if you can't handle liquids now you should probably reconsider this whole thing because you're going to be the mayor of liquid city for the next month. And it sucks every single day.

I can't imagine having a dinner at work during the pre-op! My advice for the remainder of the pre-op is to stay busy! It's not easy but does get easier after the 3rd day (and, yes, I thought people were not being exactly honest about that when I was on my 2 week pre-op...but it was true!)

Good luck...you got this!

I'm right there with ya girl! Today was my day 1 of liquid diet. Protein Shakes, broth, Jello, sugar-free popsicles, and Water. I did this once before for 4 days to see what it was like. The worst is the first 2 days. It's all about getting in tune with your mind and body. When I did it the first time it was really getting my head into this, my body adapted quickly and I was able to realize when I was and wasn't truly hungry. It was more my mind going "YOU CRAZY PSYCHO FEED ME!" lol Message me anytime :)

I start 14 days next Wednesday, can't wait... NOT! I told my co-workers to be prepared next week, it probably wasn't gonna be pretty. I'll probably be ill and snappy for a couple of days. Phase one to a new life...

      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.
