Gamma 2 Posted April 25, 2016 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? Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gamma 2 Posted April 25, 2016 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! Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App 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. Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stellastar85 2 Posted April 25, 2016 Is there anyone going on my just a 3 day cleanse before surgery? I got lucky my surgeon doesnt require me to do a 2 week pre-op diet. ~Priscilla~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gamma 2 Posted April 25, 2016 Starting my 2 week pre op liquid diet this morning. Oh boy.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.

Katrinakit 139 Posted April 25, 2016 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!
