Today's pre op has been so hard! This is only day 2. Please, someone tell me it gets easier. I am so sick and irritable, I want to throw my husband out the door:-(

Kcamp- I am on day 10 and I have to say Day-2 was my hardest I had really bad headaches Day-3 physically felt 100% better but still felt urge to eat. Each day into my preop was a goal met and now I feel strong because I take it one day at a time and u would hate to feel th at I did it for bothing if I failed on my diet. GOOD LUCK! YOU CAN DO THIS.

Thank you everyone! You guys are so supportive. I am so glad I found this site. My husband is wonderful, but he eats everything in sight and never gains an ounce, so it's hard for him to get it. I'm hoping day 3 will be better. Prayers for us all!

Kcamp, it DOES get easier. I'm on day 11 and my hunger is gone. I'm on a full liquid diet but the Protein Shakes are key. The Protein is what fills me up. Hang in there, TRUST ME, it's more than worth it.

Hi everyone. My surgery is Monday the 13th. I've been reading and reading your posts and, finally, am peeling my self from wall. My pre-op liquid diet was only a week [and it has been difficult], so I sympathize with those doing 2 weeks...but it IS already worth it. My anxiety is minimal right now. I am ready; ready to live with less pain and exhaustion and with more gusto! Best of luck to everyone on this journey. Be excellent,not perfect! xo

You will be in my prayers. Stay in touch and let us know how things go. I will have to do a 2 week liquid diet once I get my date. Hope that will be real soon.

Thank you so much. Prayers, support, and positive vibes have helped and I will need all those I can get. I hope you get your date soon too! Whatever it takes, baby girl! I will keep you updated...will have pictures eventually as I am just learning how to navigate this through the bariatricpal app on my phone. Blessings to you.

Well my time is almost here! Monday is my big day. I have been on a two week diet and it has been the hardest two weeks of my life! I had a few slips here and there but I stuck with it. I am down 15 pounds so far! Tomorrow I start Clear Liquids. Then nothing after midnight. Surgery is at 1:30 in the afternoon. I can't wait to be on the looser bench. Congrats to everyone this month! :)

      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.
