I posted this 3 yrs ago, a year after I had completed my 2 week pre-op diet. It was read by quite a few people, and some found it helpful. Perhaps it will encourage you?

Good luck! Stay with it!

Your body is in "freak-out" mode. It will come off. Stressing won't help your case. You got this!!

I lost a few pounds on the liquid diet pre op. The five days I was away with surgery only on ivs/liquid diet I figured when I got home I would have lost at least 7 pounds or so. Nothing! Nada. I was bummed. liquid diet since surgery 7 days ago. 8 pounds.

Sometimes your body will have to adjust to what is going on. Don't fret.

Thanks webchickadee! I appreciate you sharing! I'm finding the preop diet relatively easy and I'm not feeling bad about doing it - I'm just worried about not losing! On the other hand, knowing myself as I do, if I'd had great weight loss on liquids, I'd probably have decided to just do liquids forever, cancelled my surgery, be back to my wicked old ways diet wise in very short order then be living in chubby regret that I didn't go ahead with surgery!

Lessoftay. ..you're probably right. As steadfastly as my body is hanging on to every ounce though I may, in fact, be in extreme freak - out!

I have been taking the pre-op diet pretty well until today. This is day 6 and my stomach refuses to STFU. On the plus side I haven't had a gout flare up since I started the diet so I guess I can handle a little belly music in exchange for weeks of a gout attack.

      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.
