my pre surgery diet started on may the 8th. I do 2 shakes a day and 1 small lean Protein meal and veggies through the day. I go for preop apt on july 9th and I am sure he will want me to be on all liquids for awhile.

I just realized I never put my date on here ... it's on another post somewhere. I'm July 1st with pre-op June 17. I have had this date since late April! It's been a long time coming, but the sitting and waiting with nothing to do but think has not been good for me.

Good luck all!

Good Luck! I have my pre-op this Wednesday June 18th and surgery July 1st!

Nice to meet you all!

Im 36, self paying. Have a ten day liquid diet next month.... bought some Torani sugar free syrups to make it go easier. Hope it helps. Bmi is 49. I have gained ten pounds a year pretty much every year as an adult. Time for some drastic changes that I havent been able to do on my own. Looking forward to the follow up after surgery, classes and support group. Self paying means no pre surgery hurdles and counseling which is both good and bad.

PrincessM where will you be having your surgery. I am self pay also. Planning on having VSG in july.

All the best,

Clara

I am in California also. My surgery is July 24th. Going to Mexico for mine. You can pm me.

My doctor has not mentioned anything about a pre-surgery diet. Which is strange to me, seeing that so many of you mention it. Anyone know why some physicians would require a pre-surgey diet and/or some that wouldn't require it?

Not sure why.....but my doctor doesn't require a pre-op diet either.

Really? I find that very strange as it's usually to shrink the liver to make surgery easier. Do you need to fast the day before surgery?

Exactly, it is possible to accidentally knick the liver during surgery because it is in the way so the pre-op liquids help reduce the chance of that happening by shrinking it. It is especially important if you've ever been diagnosed with a fatty liver.

      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.
