@@LucyLuDiva

ahhhhh, the dreaded liquid pre-op diet!!!

my surgeon never had me go on a pre-op diet

(i wish i had made myself go on a pre-op diet)

getting in the mindset of having WLS

"once you've made it here, you can make it anywhere!" !!!

liquid diet - Deal With It!!!! :)

The only way I got through it was to look at it as the start to my new life. Think about it like that, and it is actually very exciting.

Also, I was pretty damn keen for my liver to not be too large for my surgeon to perform my surgery.

The first few days of the preop diet were the worst. After day 5 it actually became much easier.

Keep busy and dream of all the new things you will be able to do this time next year.

Hang in there!

      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.
