You have to start usually 2 weeks before surgery. I just stared my today and it's like I can smell everything I can't eat.

I started my pre-op diet today as well.... May 30th here we come!

Yeah someone in another cubicle at work had a burger and fries for lunch as I sat here eating a Protein bar.... was so not cool having to smell that!

My pre-op is pre-packaged foods that my surgeon's office orders in- all low carb/ low cal and high Protein. The taste leaves something to be desired.

My surger is May 28. I am excited and a little nervous. It will all be worth it.

I was a pizza lover and now if I never eat it again I will live. I hAve ate like 5 slices all together since surgery but just looking at the oil dripping its turning me off lmbo I'm nuts!

It's hard watching ppl eat and we are stuck with shakes & Protein Bars. I know the feeling.

It's good that what I'm really craving is chicken breast...I can start chewing Monday! I hope I tolerate white meat. I know some people have a hard time with it.I'm going to start with canned white meat chicken salad made with Greek yogurt and dill. Delicious! How soon were you able to tolerate raw veggies? I know I have awhile yet but I'm just wondering.

Pre-op diets differ by surgeons. my all liquid portion of my pre-op diet was only 3 days prior to surgery. this I did but prior to that I had the last supper syndrome.

      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.
