Dr didn't require a preop diet but wanted patients to lose 10 pounds. I am doing mostly liquid and Greek yogurt. Please keep this thread rolling. Makes me feel better knowing there are others that are in the same exact "boat".

@@alexsisv ok, my dr had me do liquid two weeks and clear liquid 2 days. Yes I was every grouchy for the first 5 days , very hungry , head ache and like the commercial (snickers ) I wasn't myself when I'm hungry. But I got accustom to it . But I still feel some hunger . I've lost 10lbs alone on this two week . Don't know if it's just Water weight I lost because my clothes don't feel it. But sure can't wait for my clothes to start feeling it !!! ????

Ok 3rd day post op. I'm having trouble getting all that liquid in . I'm having gas pain that is just horrible. I'm walking as dr ordered. My stomach keeps gargling and as soon as I sip on Water I have to burp. I have no incision pains haven't had to take any pain meds. As soon as I get a gas pain I start walking around the house that works. I do feel some pressure on the rip gastric area but I herd that is normal. I have a Jackson prat which collects Fluid or blood from the inside . I'm taking out about 15ml 3x a day. Feeling good. Can't wait to get to the gym!

I made it thru too, Friends. Sleeved on 9/15. 1st day was great because of the drugs, 2nd I fought big time nausea and felt so sick. 3rd day was massive headaches. Today I am much better. Little sips of liquids and started shakes.. up to about 25 oz. So far. Bubbles in tummy feel uncomfortable as they come up. No pain today and no nausea. .. I also had a surprise hernia repair. Glad to see others checking in from the big 9/15 day. Anyone noticing sensitivity to smell? Everything smells really strong to me...

      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.
