My surgery is March 10..... 7 days away. I have been on my full liquid diet for 7 days and I have Lost 12 lbs so far!!!! ???? I will say that the end of day two was painful. My head hurt my legs hurt (low potassium). But I pushed through it. I have 4 children so life for me could not stop. I haven't made my kids suffer for my current situation. We have still went out places. But I have not nor will I cheat! Cause if I cheat I will only be cheating myself....

Last night day 6 I cried myself to sleep cause I just wanted to eat but like I said I have a goal and my eyes are fixed on it!!!!! We will make it guys!!!!!! I'm praying for at least another 13 lbs this week!!! Tomorrow starts Clear Liquids

Hey there!

Well I am on day 14 of my piquid Pre-Op and YES it does get easier! My Dr also allowed me to have sugar free Jello and pudding along with the chicken or Beef Broths.

Not sure were you live but Safeway or their stores (In Texas they are Randalls and Tom thumb) have some AMAZING Protein shakes in their Dairy Department made by Lucerne! Make sure you get the Light ones. They are basically just like the powdered shakes made with fat free milk! They also have a Protein Plus thats an additional 12gms or protein that you can use in your Protein Shakes that increase it to 37gms!

My secret was I'd drink a shake followed by a 16.9oz bottle of Water. When I started getting those salty cravings (chips and cheese are my downfall) Thats when I went for the broth!

Good Luck to ya!

      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.
