My surgeon gave us an option on the pre-op diet. You could either do all liquids (with some pickles) or liquids with one solid meal a day. The solid meal had to be small with only one serving (about 3-4oz) of lean Protein and a serving of non starchy vegetables.

I should probably wait until I get home to look in the manual as this is all from memory, but I think it was 3-4 Protein shakes a day (they had a limit on carbs in the shakes and minimum Protein requirements), unlimited sugar free Popsicles, sugar free Jello, broths, bullion, mustard, sugar free mints, other low cal condiments/flavorings and dill pickles on the liquid-only (except the pickles, obviously). If you had a solid meal, reduce one Protein shake.

I did the all liquids and a couple of small pickles with mustard every day. You had to do this for two weeks pre surgery and the last two days HAD to be liquids only (no pickles).

      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.
