I've spent the last few days doing 2 shakes and a meal hopefully I'll be okay. Good luck everyone

I watched carbs and sugar because I was told those were the main thing to be concerned about.

I had a Protein shake for Breakfast and I had other drinks throughout the day and I had Soup for dinner.... I always had veggies during my pre-op diet except for the last day when I was on clear fluids only.

My surgeon said everything looked great and my surgery was perfect. I even managed to lose 9 pounds during my pre-op diet.

day 1 pre op diet

I feel pretty good but I didn't get anywhere near 1000 calories I'm only at 725 and the only other thing I might have tonight is a couple 10 calorie drop ins in my Water to get the rest of my water in and a 15 calorie popsicle idk if that's good or bad but I did get all of my Protein in

I'm scheduled for the 25th as well...let's just say my pre-op diet is not going well at all. It seems as if I'm obsessing about food now. This is horrible!!!

Yesterday was rough for me still didn't feel fatigued or headaches or anything but I was STARVING

My first day on the pre-op diet was a disaster. I may have ended up eating endless shrimp at Red Lobster. I think it's so difficult because it's mental. Soon we won't be able to eat more than a spoon or two of food and the urge to live it up is strong with me.

Today is a new day and I'm on track with my Protein shakes and I get a lean meal for dinner.

P.S. My surgery is the 24th.

Ah yes, I infamous pre op diet. It gets easier the further out you are. I remember in the first few days I slipped and had something I was not suppose to have. Don't beat yourself if you though. It will be over before you know it.

      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.
