Honestly it isn't as bad as I thought it would be. From reading other posts I feel my dr has a more strict pre op diet.. 2 weeks liquid.. 3 Protein drinks, Jello, sugar free pops, broth and one yogurt a day..

It's day 5 out if 14 and I'm feeling good.. I would kill for some Tomato Soup right now but it's all going to be worth it..

Also my surgeon didn't require any weight lost before he would schedule the surgery so I'm guessing that could be why the pre op is so strict..

Sf hot chocolate with unflavored Protein is very yummy on these chilly nights...also if you get headaches your first few days sip on some 99% fat free chicken broth, the little extra salt helps with those and it counts toward your liquid goal.

You can do it! I followed the diet and had surgery Wednesday. I am doing great and I know the program before surgery really helped my surgery and recovery.

Hang in there! You CAN do this!

My surgery is on the 19th. I started my pre-op diet on Nov 5th. The first few days were brutal. I can have broth, sf Jello, pudding, sf yogurt, fruit juice, Protein Shakes and Soup. I'm eating the boxed organic Soups. Tomato and the like. I've also gotten soup at whole foods( hot food) and trader Joes( minestrone). I cant stomach the low-fat cream soups. Those are meant for casseroles!! I've lost 9lbs so far. On Sunday( at noon), I switch to Clear Liquids until Monday at midnight. On Monday I do the bowel prep. Those 2 days of clear liquids will be hard. I love the FitFrappe Protein shakes from Big Train. They almost make me think I'm drinking a starbucks frappacino.

I did end up having a muscle milk Protein Drink at work! I really want to try the Unjury chicken broth and the unflavored so I can mix it in with juices and things like that! I'm just doing one week so hopefully all goes well! The first day haven't been too bad!

Mmm I love the strawberry muscle milk. So far muscle milk is my favorite.

Soups not allowed on mine but I can have 3 oz chicken or cod.

This morning we went out for Breakfast for perhaps my last full breakfast (I spared nothing).

      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.
