Clear broth = broth that you can see through, with no bits of meat, veggies, rice, etc. in it. You can find it in boxes or cans at the market.

Ugh, I don't like hearing that you are hungry! I thought the surgery removes the 'hunger enzymes'? My husband is going to be sleeved May 2 and hopefully I will be approved a bit later. I have heard some people are not at all hungry post sleeve and others are.

If you have boullion you can make some broth with that. Good luck to you. I hope it gets easier for you!

I think food has played an important role in all of our lives. Too important! Someone recommended this book to me and it's been helpful. You got this! Think about how good you'll look and feel on the other side!

They also sell packets of broth that you can mix with hot Water (easier at work, etc).

Clear broth you can usually buy in the grocery store ......it's usually either chicken, or beef.....your surgeon's office should have given you something with a list of items you can have......when is your surgery?

I'm so glad my surgeon doesn't require a pre-op diet.

No love I haven't had it yet but my surgeon requires that we do a two week pre op diet before surgery !

I totally cheated, I ate a piece of grilled chicken and baked salmon a couple of days. I'm down 13 lbs still. I couldn't do the all liquid for 2 weeks. I was so hungry, make that HANGRY! Ugh. Tomorrow is all clear broth!

I get sleeved on 28 April and am required to do a two week pre-op diet which consists of 4 shakes, two Protein bars, and 1 banana or a cup of skim milk per day. I can have up to 3 servings of sugar free Jello and sugar free Popsicles. I am on day 5. So far it has not been to bad. I must admit the best part of my day is when I eat the banana. Good luck to everyone on their journeys!

      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.
