I'm so glad I don't have a strict pre op diet. I have lost about 6 lbs in 1 1/2 weeks just not eating bread, rice and Pasta. That's all my dr requires.

My surgery is on May 24th. I will have a 2 week pre-op liver reduction diet. I am excited but nervous. I have only today a few people, most of which have been amazingly supportive and understanding. I can't wait to officially be on the losers bench!

Hi Surgery Buddy! I had my pre-op appointment today with the nurse and nutritionist and for lab work. My appointment with the Dr is also on Monday! I'm super excited, first day on liquid diet - so far so good. How long does your doctor keep you off work? Mine is 3 wks. I just can't even picture what I will look like by Christmas, maybe I actually won't mind having my picture taken! Isn't it fun to think about all the things that will be different?

Oh my gosh I'm so excited I can't stand it!! My goal weight is 140 so I need to lose about 115 lbs. My dr said he expects me to lose all of that and possibly more which I can't really even fathom! I feel super lucky that I don't have to do the pre op liquid diet. And they didn't give me a specified amount of time to stay out of work. The lady I talked to today to schedule my surgery said 2 weeks but since I don't have a physically strenuous job I may be ready to go back after 1 week... But that if my job isn't being supportive he'd sign Leave papers for however long I wanted lol Where are you located? I'm in Atlanta. So many questions!!!

      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.
