I start my liquid diet on Friday!! We have the same surgery date though! I can not wait until the 14th! I just left Wal-Mart with all my liquid diet I could find. My doctor only requires a 10 day diet so Friday will be the big day!!!

I am on day four of my 2 week liquid diet having surgery on the 9th. I am struggling this afternoon :( I know why I need it but I still find myself saying if I cheat just once no one will know. I will know and I am stronger than that so broth it is!

The first few days of the pre-op diet are really rough - they suck, quite frankly. I was allowed 2 shakes and dinner of Protein and some veggies. I drank a lot of green tea to help thru the initial hunger.

Also, take this two weeks as an opportunity to take walks and exercise - this will help in the recovery from surgery.

You're going to do great! The 14th will be here in no time!

Best of luck to you

      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.
