You can eat most all foods after. I didn't have a chance to eat anything as I was camping when I got the call to schedule surgery and my pre-op appt was the day we came home, which was less than two weeks out. I started my diet that day. Which was 6 days from the date of surgery. I could eat a small Protein based meal and two Protein shakes a day.

I can now eat about anything I want, just in smaller sized portions and I really don't "miss" anything. When I look at the piece of pie or whatever I see hours on the treadmill and don't want to have to workout any longer than I do(which is about an hour and half a day). That makes motivation a lot easier to STAY away from those items:)

Good luck to you, I look forward to hearing your journey in a few weeks!!!

I'm ten days into my pre-op diet and I did do a last meal thing (it was Thanksgiving) and I just had a bit of everything that I wanted instead of following my low carb ways that I've been practicing since last July. THEN it turned into the next day and next day and I had a terrible time with my first four days on my liver shrink diet. I think I would've been way better off if I didn't let myself indulge that way. I even had a breakdown on day four and ate bread and a muffin. They were no where near as good as I thought they would be, but I've been so so so so hungry since I've been on the pre-op diet. Surgery on Monday so I'll hang in there, I don't think it's worth it to have the last meal(s) -_-

I went off my diet right before the liquid diet. The first week of the liquid diet I was able to have one meal at dinner time so at least I had something to look forward too. The second week of the diet is all liquid. It was pretty hard especially lasagna night! I stayed out of the kitchen and sat in a different room while my family ate in the dining room. I don't regret going off my diet. The first day of the liquid diet was the worse day because I felt bloated and tired. My son put a picture on the refrigerator that says, "It's worth it and I love you." He's only 10 but gets what I'm going through sometimes better than my husband. Surgery is Monday and I have one family Christmas dinner this weekend. I'm planning on taking a shake with me and some sugar free Jello.< /p>

your son is correct and very wise for his age. Shows that you did a good job raising him!!!! It is only two more days and I know that you will be tempted but think of the long term goals you have!! You can do this!!!!

      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.
