I don't start my liquid diet until Wednesday the 29th. Surgery is Tuesday the 5th! My BFF had hers on 6/21 and is home and doing great! I'm so excited to take this journey with her even if I'm a couple weeks behind....

I have a question, when you all speak of your "liquid diet" is that the two-week pre-op diet? Is it completely liquids only? I'm asking because the pre-op diet my doctor gave me is obviously mostly Protein shakes, but we are allowed to eat oatmeal, chicken, egg whites, vegetables. It is not all liquid.< /p>

Yes that is what everyone means. But not everyone is on just liquids. My doctor just requires me to have low carb.

Depends. At my previous attempt at VSG it was all liquids, between shakes and broth.

This attempt it is still mostly shakes, but plan allows for sugar free Jello, pudding, cream of what/oatmeal, light yogurt, and raw veggies.

As I've said before, you could create a book as deep as the Grand Canyon for how may different varieties of the pre-op diet there are.

      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.
