On day 7 and I've been 90% good. 5 of the days I was perfect and the other two days I had a Quest bar and today a bite of taco meat. Not terrible but I'm really trying to be 100%. Surgery is 4/29 and my plan is to be absolutely perfect three days leading up to surgery..

Start my 2 week liquid diet Monday for my May 10 surgery. Not looking forward to that at all!

I am on a 5 day liquid diet starting tomorrow (thursday). I bought Jello, pudding, sugar free popsicles, regular gatorade and chicken broth. Anything else I'm missing? I'm really nervous to start it tomorrow. My surgery is also 4/26!! ????

I am on day 7 & cheated twice. Lost 7lbs so far. I am supposed to be on a 2 week pre-op liquid diet. Surgery is April 29th. I am so scared and nervous. I do good all day till time to prepare dinner and than I break. I am scared about my surgery but everyone else I know that was bigger than me didn't even have to do a liquid diet but used a different doctor also. So I decided starting tomorrow to not cheat. I have 7 more days. Hope I didn't screw myself up. Called the nut and she said since it was healthy choices I cheated with I'm Fine but I still feel guilty. Good luck!

I'm on Day 2 of the (mostly) liquid diet. I cheated a little today (2 small cheese quesadillas that I baked). OF COURSE, I feel SO guilty now. I'm allowed at least 3 Protein shakes, plus broth, a small bowl of salad, a small cup of crunchy fresh veggies, sugar free Jello and ice pops. But I'm STILL starving. I've seen varied diets, too- just depends on your surgeon, I guess. I'm 5'6, 236 lbs. I get my sleeve surgery on 5/4. I plan to be 100% diligent starting tomorrow. It's just going to take A LOT of getting used to...but I want to lose as much pre-op. I'm hoping post-op the hunger will mostly be gone.

Good luck! And I'm glad I'm not alone

I was sleeved 4/13. I'm yet to be hungry, so I wouldn't worry about that part after. Makes it a little easier to stick with the plan.

Hello!

My surgery is set for 4/26 and I literally just learned about this place I'm currently on my 2week Iiquid diet and I ate solid food. After starving all day at work, I came home and ate. Did you all really just drink Protein shakes for 2 weeks???

My pro-op diet was different. It was as follows:

Week 1

-All the Water and sugar-free drinks you want

-All the broth you want

-All the sugar-free Jello you want

-All the sugar-free popsicles you want

-Breakfast and lunch is a Protein shake

-dinner is unbreaded, lean meat on a bed of greens

Week 2

The same as week 1 except dinner is now replaced with a Protein Shake.

I did not cheat on my pre-op diet as I was serious about the surgery. Also, since I was self-pay there was more incentive for me to succeed. (I've noticed that many people who fail have their surgery paid through insurance.)

It is diffucult. I haven't been 100% perfect on mine either. A bite of something here and there. Day 8 for me. My surgery is on the 27th..good luck on the rest of your journey!

No, I didn't cheat, and I won't. I start my pre op liquid diet this Sunday for two weeks, but I also had to complete a two week liquid trial diet prior to my first visit with my surgeon. I didn't cheat then, but it was by no means easy. It was a good trial to do though because now I know what I like, what works for me, and what Protein powders I enjoy. I know which pre made shakes I like, and I have a couple of tried and true Protein shake recipes to make in my blender.

I am determined not to cheat because I want to reduce my risks during surgery as much as I can. My surgeon only requires one week, but said two is better. So two weeks again it is!

[erinkath 19]

That's really interesting that you had to do a trial run before seeing your surgeon, but it's a good idea. I'm finding that after the first 2 days it's gotten much easier. My surgeon said a 2 week diet, but I think every doctor is different. I've heard of some that don't require it at all.

I'm in Canada and my provincial Medicare is paying for my surgery. Requirements are different I guess.

I had a 10 day pre-op diet. I could have full liquids until the day before surgery-that was Clear Liquids only. I did cheat a couple times...I had fruit. I did not cheat for the 5 days leading up to surgery.

[dunnadunna 26]

I was supposed to do a two week liquid pre-op, but scheduling conflicts made it 11 days.

I'm allowed 6 Protein shakes a day (Atkins). Premier shakes are not allowed beforehand, for some reason... I'm also allowed unlimited clear liquids. I don't do Jello, so it's mainly been broth with the occasional sf ice pop. I season my broth with everything from vinegar to Rosemary and garlic powder... Curry powder... Depends on my mood. It's a good break from sweet tastes.

I cheated three times. Once I ate an avocado in my curry broth. Twice I ate an egg in my beef broth this was all on the first six days. I went in to sign consent forms for surgery, they weighed me, and I had lost ten pounds in those 6 days.

I didn't tell doc specifics, but I did mention that I had cheated. He said to try and stick with the diet (there are no commitment doubts- I quit smoking six months ago after first meeting him, and I lost 12 subsequent pounds and have kept them off for over 4 months now) but that my choices with which to cheat couldn't have been much better.
