So my preop diet is supposed to be 1200 calories and 45 minutes a day of exercise.... I'm failing... Did great 10 days and blew it ... I feel like crap and scared ... This kind of diet is hard for me... So if I can't do this how is the surgery going to be :-(! Feeling defeated...

1200 pre op is alot compared to most. How long does your preop last? I slipped on my preop diet as well and I told my surgeon, he laughed and said it was fine. It wasn't going to kill me or anything, just try to do the best that I could.

Yeah I know it's a lot but there's no set time... I have to lose 15 more lbs to schedule my surgery I already lost 15.... I wish I could just do Protein Shakes but I got yelled at when I did my normal Breakfast shake for the first 15 I lost.... They want me eating solid food to lose the weight... Ughhhh I need to get my motivation back!

Its not a big deal unless you make it a big deal. I did great preop for two weeks and then had a pre-diet binge two days before surgery day. Three months out and no binges. It won't always be easy. But you cannot give more weight to set backs than you do steps forward.

      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.
