The pre-op diet was horrible for me the first three days. I've now been following it for 9 days and it's so much easier this week. I've also lost at least ten pounds so far too, which is exciting.

The only problem I've really had with the diet was the withdrawal from caffeine the first two days and now my blood sugar keeps dropping, so I just have to make sure i eat every three hours on the dot.

This weekend i go to liquids only, sine my surgery is this Monday at 7;00am!!!

Went to last pre-op visit with primary care physician today Got new prescriptions for some of my meds since they all need to be chewable, liquid or crushed. I have lost six pounds in the last week on my pre-op diet! Getting a bit more excited and not quite as scared...see how I will feel on Tuesday for the surgery!

Im scheduled for March 9th, Im also going to Tijuana to get mine done. Im on day 3 of my Pre Op diet, and the first few days I had killer headaches. Everyone says it gets better after the 3rd day so Im hoping thats true. Im really struggling with being tired, since I take medication that already makes me tired its been a hard few days. Im also having a hard time drinking these Protein Shakes, I think I need to try a different powder.< /p>

      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.
