I think you'll find that the liquid diet post-op is no problem. You aren't hungry at all, and you're bound to be a little sore. You may miss eating, generally speaking, but you shouldn't be miserable.

Without question, I found the pre-op diet (which lasted 4 weeks for me) to be much more difficult than the post-op one. I was so grateful that the surgery went well and that I had no hunger, I didn't even think about the fact that I was on an all liquid diet after surgery (even during Thanksgiving!). Best of luck with your surgery!

Like others stated post-op is a breeze, the hunger drive is gone. The bigger challenge now is getting enough liquid in, stay hydrated and keep a heat pad handy for the gas pains. Relax as much as possible, it gets easier and better each day and once the gas works itself out of your system you'll be good as gold.

      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.
