Hello! I am new to the forum and scheduled for gastric sleeve on 3/16/15.

Today is day one of my all liquid/protein shake diet for two weeks.

I have chosen Isopure whey Protein, unflavored and almond milk. I also have Premier Protein and the Isopure liquid pre made beverages.< /p>

I will probably stop by the store and get some sugar-free pop cycles, Jello and broths tonight.

I was wondering if there was anybody who was starting their pre-op diet or have started already and had any tips/tricks for adherence.

Thanks!

Yesterday wasn't so bad! I had 2 Premier Protein shakes, one at about 10 am, the 2nd at about 2pm then had Almond Milk with Isopure whey Protein about 5pm.

My boyfriend and I went to Walmart about 6pm for plenty of Clear Liquids then stopped by Home Goods for some candles and other goodies.

I came home and had a sugar free Popsicle and cup of chicken broth.

I think I'm just so excited for my surgery that sticking to this Pre-op thing is like a bonus as I keep thinking about all the weight I'll lose prior to surgery day.

Let me know how you ladies are doing as your pre-op diets commence. I'm definitely here for your support and vice versa.

Hugs!!

the only thing that fills me is when i drink 2 cups of chicken broth. im

using pure Protein chocolate powder with skim milk for my shakes.

i also throw yogurt and ice in it. i found that its easier drinking it that way

Surgery date is March 18th. I technically start pre-op liquid diet today. My pantry is not prepared....at all. I, surprisingly, got a call yesterday to schedule and they said...."Ok, start your liquid diet tomorrow." YIKES! Good luck to all of you. I'm new to the forums, but do enjoy finding people that I can relate to. I'll be following this post. :)

      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.
