My doc put me on 2week 1200 cal diet. Basically two shakes and a light meal. I have lost 25 lbs in the last 8 weeks. Self imposed liquid diet just to get used to new sleeved life. I did 1 week of 900 calorie/day just to see if I could hack it and for me it was just away to verify what I was about to do was in fact possible. Good luck and congrats on date. I'm may 4th date.

Isn't the pre-op diet regime based on the condition and position of the liver? That's what I thought. Hmmmmmm.

Hi Brittany! I am also scheduled for June 9th! Just got my date today! My surgeon doesn't require a liquid diet either. They have us a weight loss goal for before surgery but you can choose how you do it. I was also thinking of switching over to liquids for a couple meals a day so I could get used to it before surgery

I've been on the 1200 calorie diet and have lost 14lbs. I was instructed to do full liquids the day prior to surgery and nothing after midnight.

      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.
