I've lost like 6 lbs so far just being on this liquid diet. What did you have to do for your pre op diet?

I was only required to do fasting liquid diet for one day before surgery. The doc said because I had a bmi under 50 not sure if that is common. 6 pounds that is great !

This seems to be standard for anyone doing the procedure through Roch Gen.

Hi! Another Rochester NY friend! I had my surgery August 27th by Dr. O'Malley as well!...stuck at a 40lb weight loss. I heard stalls are normal, but would like to lose more. My goal is 30 more pounds. Regardless of the stall, I'm so happy with the way I now look....best of luck to you as you too begin your 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.
