So I started my pre op diet on Wednesday 2/3/16. I am 5 days in and doing great. The first 3 days were the absolute hardest. I would find myself looking in the pantry and the fridge to see what I can sneak. I told myself "suck it up fatty" and went to my room. The first couple days you lack so much energy and just want to sleep. I'm so glad I'm over that hump. I'm getting my surgery in exactly 10 days and I'm so excited. I can't wait to see the results and share them with you all! Who else is a 2/17 sleeve girl? Let's keep in touch, I need a sleeved sister ♥️

My sleeve is I the 16th. I'm day5 pre-op. Weekends at home are hard---much easier when I'm at work. Today I made dinner for my family---I made ham because I don't like it....but today I could have slammed that ham!!! It was hard and I had to totally walk away!!! I am excited for my sleeve too but will be glad when the preop diet is over! ????

I am the 12th. Been on a 2 week pre op liquid diet. It has sucked! Can't wait for this to be over. The head hunger is always here too. But I'm tired of being hungry and food is every where it seems like. It's gonna be okay though. The day will be here. It's best to just try to keep busy. Watch your favorite movies or shows. I'm off work the rest of the week so it's gonna be hard sitting at home.

      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.
