So, I spoke with the surgeons office this morning. Surgery is scheduled for 11:45AM on July 21st. Woo! So the diet starts on Monday, July 11th. They said for the first 7 days, I get to have 2 Protein shakes, and 1 Protein and veggies meal. Then the last 3 days is 3 Protein Shakes. So my question, if you've had a similar diet, what did you do for your protein and veggie meal? I know if I don't ask I'll resort to chicken and broccoli and that is boring. :)

Thanks!

My pre-op diet is the same as yours. I start it Monday. I've come up with some ideas-hamburger patty with salad, grilled fish with asparagus, I was thinking of a rotisserie chicken with some sort of veggie.

My surgery is the 21st too! It looks like my diet will be similar & I don't know what to do for my veggie & Protein meal either. There are lots of frozen fish meals. The salmon is really good & also the lemon pepper fish.

Hey. I my surgery is Wednesday July 6th. This pre op diet is kicking my butt. When I get up,at night,I'm so groggy and weak I wonder if I'll make it back to bed... Makes me wonder if I'm that weak,after surgery with the incisions,how I'll get up do my business then back. The diet isn't great but doable. I'm apprehensive to say the least..

      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.
