Caribear 184 Posted August 22, 2016 I am still pre-op, so I can't really offer you any advice, but I can offer you some encouragement: You can do it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KristenLe 5,979 Posted August 22, 2016 Write down a list of all the things you want to do after weight loss - use it as inspiration to get you through the difficult times during the pre-op diet. Eat and drink as much as allowed - don't wait until you are starving and more apt to grab something quick (not on plan). Be prepared and have allowed foods available at all times! Good luck.

Hiraeth 515 Posted August 22, 2016 I start my presurgery diet tomorrow and a little nervous. Anyone have any advice before I start? I am so nervous. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App Why are you nervous? Are you nervous about the surgery, the diet, or both? The surgery was easier than I expected. My only challenges were the gas pains that lasted for almost 2 days and getting in enough liquid. My pre-op diet lasted for one week and was actually pretty easy. I didn't really feel miserable like some people say they felt. I made sure to drink at least 3 Protein shakes a day and eat about 2-3 light and fit yogurts a day. Also, drink plenty of fluids to keep yourself fuller longer. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
