I started my ten day liquid preop diet today. Feeling really tired at work and sleepy. Missing caffeine I guess. Help me make it through these first few days...

I started my liquid diet today, too! Surgery on 11/2. I think no caffeine will be tough too.

@@purz59 that's normal. Trust me. I just had surgery on the 15th. The pre-op was more challenging than the post op. But you will survive. I actually didn't work during the 2 weeks preop which was worst. All I had to think about was what I couldn't eat! I'm I the 5th day post-op and feeling much better, even able to tolerate the liquid diet now. It will get easier. Just do your best. You will be fine.

      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.
