I actually didn't have a liquid pre op diet. Sounds horrible! I just watched what I ate the week before. No food funerals though. Hang in there!

I am on day 8 of my liquid diet. I have cheated a couple times. I was light headed and didn't feel so good my 2nd day. I don't think it would hurt anything. It takes any where between 1 day to 3 days for the food to get out of our digestive system so as long as you don't anything after that before surgery, then you should be fine. I have surgery next friday. Also as long as your losing weight too, it helps shrink the liver better like we are supposed too.

From everything I've read you should be ok. But my dr also told me to tell them if I slip up. She said they won't be mad at me but may push the surgery back a day. So it depends on the dr I guess. I have a question too while we are on the subject. If my dr says I can eat egg whites how do y'all think a couple deviled eggs would go? I'm in the same boat as you. I want to bite something! Lol sorry for the long comment. Hope it helps a little. My surgery is Tuesday. ????

I didn't have a pre-op diet but I had a day before surgery diet. Just clears the day before. I decided to put my self on a liquid diet just to make sure I didn't go crazy. Well, crazy I went. Two Thursday's ago, 4 days before my surgery I just stood up, put clothes on and went and got sushi. I then came home and out of nowhere made a pan of bread pudding (ate 1/4) and some popcorn. I was fine after that. Took my milk of magnesia is instructed the day before surgery and stuck to clears. Here I am a week post op. And happy! And down 12lbs.

You'll be fine. Let them know you messed up if you want. Don't gain any weight. Call your dietician if you can just for support. You got this! Good luck!

Hi Brenda - yeah I got the sleeve last Monday! :)

Call them and ask if there's any preop bowel prep or anything like that. Did they give you a binder or any paper work? Mine did and all that info was there.

Brenda90210---I am also on a 14 day full liquid diet, and some days have been tough (I'm on day 6). I have not cheated. I want this surgery so bad that I don't want to risk anything. I would LOVE to cheat some days though! Hang in there--you can do it. Just think of how good you will look and feel when you are done!! When is your surgery?? Mine is the 16th. So jealous of these folks who don't have to do the 14 day preop diet!! ????

      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.
