My surgery is also May 2nd and my preop diet is two weeks...which means I am HUNGRY hahaha. I have read that some of the diets are different, mine is all liquid. How is everyone else's preop diet?

I have been on a liquid only diet since Monday. For me, it isn't super great but I am not really hungry, just more so miss solid food. I will never take a chicken breast for granted again. Lol and I am dreaming about food, the other night I dreamed I kept eating food and spitting it out after I realized I am not supposed to be eating it. My pre-op is this Monday and then surgery the Monday after that, so looking forward to starting a new chapter in my life!

Sounds like we are having it the same day. My stomach growled LOUDLY for about 3 days when I started the liquid diet. I am having more trouble controlling my blood sugars than anything else, not used to them dropping so low. It's important to not accidentally skip a Protein shake...my bad I love your dream! It's almost 2am here, I woke up dreaming about food, it was a strange dream but pretty funny.

I started mine last Monday. I think it gets easier as you go but make sure you drink all of your Protein because it helps to make you feel full, besides it being healthy. Good luck! Maybe when we are going crazy with wanting "real food" we could check in here instead of being tempted.

Priscilla,

I only have Clear liquids the day before surgery. I consider myself very lucky, I feel for everyone on the two weeks or more. When is your surgery scheduled?? Mine is May 6th.

My stomach stopped growling at about day 3, but I am sure noticing all the commercials for restaurants and I am smelling food from blocks away...I guess you always want what you can't have haha.

Well my doctor's office has a very specific (and helpful) education series and when you are approximately four weeks from surgery, they start you on Optifast on a Saturday (so that everyone is getting the information at the right times. I am grouped with about 5 other women) So whenever your surgery falls from then is how long the diet is but it is supposed to be about 4 weeks. I think they do it that way to make sure that everyone gets all the info they need. I'm fine with it. I will do whatever it takes to get this surgery at this point!

      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.
