Are you on a pre op diet?

I'm not... Only need to do a clear liquid diet the day before, BUT I'm going to do mostly liquids this week. I'm going to do Protein shakes for 2 meals, then eat one small meal. It scared me to have to get an open incision because my liver is to fatty!!.. I don't have to do the bowl prep either, but I'm thinking of doing that also... I figure the less problems the better :)

Lost 8lbs so far since surgery day. It seems to be slowing down at the moment, but I'm not to worried. I'm only on day 5. My physical activity will pick up in the coming days and will be able to lose more.

Best of luck to all the peeps having surgery on Monday.

I have been so lucky to not experience any pain, so I wish you all a similar experience.

That's great! I'm on day 5 and still haven't gotten back to the weight I was on the day of surgery....close though. I'm down over all from when I started pre op diet. Are you on Clear Liquids or are you progressed to other stuff yet? My surgeon does Clear Liquids for 10 days. Huge bummer, but I'm being a good and compliant patient.

Thinking of you this morning and hoping you have a good day and will be ready to come off that oxygen. A little over 48 hours for me until surgery. I am so nervous and excited at the same time.

I have a big favor to ask! Would you all check the list, and if you see any mistakes, or you want to be added, let me know tonight! Surgery is tomorrow, and I'll be posting from my iPod or tablet at the hospital, and this thing is much easier on a keyboard! That way I can get it all right tonight! After this, please feel free to copy and paste to make corrections! I don't mind at all! We went from about ten or fifteen when I started this thread to 74 people!!! And that's if I haven't missed anyone! I love this group!!

You'll get through it girl!! It's the first step of many. Just be positive and stay by the bathroom! It will prepare u for the barium u have to drink after ur surgery.

I'm almost 2 weeks out and I could care less about any of that stuff now. It's all been worth it.

      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.
