Just don't give up on your preop diet. It's not worth risking complications.

I had mine on the 31st and I'm recovering well. I'm so excited that I made the decision to do this. I just wish I hadn't waited (weighted) so long.

Good luck and keep us posted w pics.

Linda. What are you using for the all liquids.

I'm using warm chicken broth, Gatorade, Water, and clear juices - mostly apple juice

Good luck. I'm telling you now, it ain't easy! My surgery is tomorrow and I've been on Clear Liquids since Thursday. My head hurts, my tummy is growling and all I want are some French fries. Ok seriously, I'm obsessing about fries. This is my 3rd post in 10 min about some darn fries. I'm starving!!!! But what helps is thinking about being slim and sexy and healthy! And all the cute clothes I'm gonna buy. Best wishes to you! Hang in there, it will all be worth it.

I am on full liquids for 2 weeks( with clear liquids the last 2 days). I seriously don't know how I am going to get thru this. I had a Premier Protein shake( pre-mixed, bought a case at costco for 24.99) at 8am. I'm drinking my one allowed iced coffee. I'm going to have Soup for lunch and dinner and have to fit another Protein Shake in there at some point. I'm also diabetic on an insulin pump so I am always HANGRY= hungry & angry!! My endo was no freaking help either. Told me to reduce my insulin on the pump by 20%. I still think that is too much, but we shall see.

      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.
