Hiya I'm on day 5 of 14 on pre op liquid diet and it is rough!!! I have not cheated and don't plan on it! I really look at this as a challenge and I have a how bad do I want this attitude! I don't want any complications and it's really training me mentally and physically and socially you find different things to do with yourself you learn your body such as when your hungry and when your just eating I have also come into understanding of eating for nourishment eating used to be my pleasure or a hobby now I just drink my disgusting Protein shakes for nutrients lol you will be fine tho

It really is a test, I almost broke 3 days ago but I got through it. I don't want any complications either so it is worth it to stick to the diet. Some surgeons will stop surgery if your liver is too large because it is not only in the way but it is also too easy to damage.

I think you should follow our surgeons directions as much as possible, but you didn't ruin anything if you messed up. Personally, I didn't have a specific pre-op diet. My surgeon asked me to lose 5-10lbs prior to surgery, but let me do it in my own way. I only had a one day liquid diet prior to the surgery. I have had no issues or complications since surgery nearly 3 weeks ago.

I'm on day four of seven preop diet. I get sleeved on the 30th. I see it as a test also. This definitely prepares you for sleeved life. Eat to live not live to eat. I can't wait till this is over. I keep imagining fitting into my pretty clothes again and that helps me to get through the day. We can do it! Good luck to all!

      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.
