Hello,

Not sure if your surgeon gave you ideas for all liquid diet. But, I had chicken broth, sugar free Jello, popsicles and continued to drink the required Protein shakes. It was nice to mix it up a little with the liquids. Good Luck to you!!

I am in the second day of the pre-op diet. What kind of pre-op diet are you on. Many are different. Are you just having the shakes? Are you allowed 4 ounces of low fat Protein with a small amount of vegetables for dinner?

I am doing the shakes plus 4 ounces of Protein at dinner.< /p>

Are you allowed unlimited sugar free popsicles, Jello, and fat free broth?

A friend gave me a hint regarding the shakes. Put in a couple tablespoons of fat free plain Greek yogurt. I tried that this morning and the shakes tasted so much better.

All in all, the pre-op diet is boring. Very boring. But we need to shrink our livers before surgery. We are doing this because we need the surgery tool to make better food choices with our minds.

I do get four ounces of Protein at dinner but I was told no yogurt. I can only mix shakes with Water. This is the largest test of my will power.

      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.
