Are any of you starting your pre surgical weight loss diet? I start mine Sunday

I'm told I will likely only need to do a 24 hour pre-op diet. I guess I'll know for sure at the pre-op appt 8/4. Sounds like most of you have to do longer though. I wonder why that is?
My surgeon stated that it's to give the liver time to shrink, making it easier for them to manipulate laparoscopicly during the surgery.

Is anyone in Dallas, TX?

It is time for an update. Today is day 5/14 in the land of preop. The best thing I've done is conquer evening "hanger" (yup, this is the anger I feel over watching others eat when I cannot). Every grocery purchased was a part of a recipe someone else in the family can make. Sweet peace is in the house again!!!!! Pokemon GO has also helped with activities that distract from the daily ho-hum. Life is going well!! It is great seeing y'alls progress too. It is great having peeps to go through this journey with.

Hello ladies! I'd love surgery buddies! The big day is 8/8! My pre-op labs are 7/28. I started my Protein diet yesterday. It's not a liquid diet so I'm a little worried. Anyway, I'm excited!

@@Shrinkinqtpi Awesome!how's everything going for you so far? 14 days until the 10!I'm feeling a little week this morning and have a slight headache. The diet wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have drug reps bringing stuff every 5 min and all these meetings with catered food. I actually started yesterday and today is day 2!....

@@MrsMonroe you are a busy woman by profession. Being strong has to be tough with all of the temptations around. This is the 6th day and I'm having dreams of avocado blended into my Protein shake and spoonfuls of ricotta. Our count down will go fast. We just have to be strong.

      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.
