I'm jealous of you that can have actual meals on the pre op diet. I'm 5 days in and I'm allowed 2 Protein Shakes, and any broth based Soup for dinner. I can have sf Jello, sf pudding, sf Popsicles and low fat yogurt. I'm so sick of sweet stuff!!!

On day 6 of my pre-op diet, (surgery oct 1)- I'm allowed a "small no carb meal" at night. I blew it last night, I ate 6 ounces of chicken Marsala instead of recommended 2-3 ounces... I also had minestrone Soup AND the salad... Too much for one sitting... And now I went up on the scale by a pound... Hope it's just Water retention from the sodium... I feel so guilty! ????

I have been watching YouTube videos like crazy lately! It's cool to see other people's experiences through surgery. Sending calming vibes too all!

      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.
