I've seen some people post about the pre op diet, and some have asked if it is really possible to do. Has anyone attempted to follow the pre op diet before you actually had to follow it for surgery? Or is this not advisable?

I did a Breakfast smoothie for couple weeks before I started and often had a salad for dinner. Helped me to figure out what I liked for smoothie. Most of all by the time I started preop I knew I could do it.

I've been doing a Breakfast shake for a few months now... I was thinking about starting to of a shake at lunchtime too. And of course having a sensible meal at dinner.< /p>

My surgeon only made me go off of starch for the month before surgery and a liquid diet the day before.

I'm doing the pre op diet. I am a little grumpy and just want to do my yearly eat extra sweets December thing but I think it's good to break that habit. I've slipped twice. And just get up and say you want this! The midnight snack monster was the worst to get through. But 14 lbs down pre op diet

      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.
