My BMI was 38 on day of surgery. Had to do 10 day pre-op diet. Not going to tell you it isn't hard but you will get thru it. Just keep reminding yourself why you are doing it! Good luck

Just started today. Going to Dr Garcia next week. I did it in May for 5 days before finding out I was denied by insurance and it wasnt that bad. My local doctors diet was much more strict than garcias in that it was clear liquid only and one small salad with no dressing a day. Garcia allows protien shake and some veggies/lean meat

I'm going to Dr. Garcia also next week! My surgery will be on the 20th. They told me the same diet but because I have a fatty liver I am going to do only Protein shakes for a week and Clear liquids the day before.

What brand of shakes are people using that taste decent for their pre-op? I am using Premier Protein since it has 30gm of Protein and is low in calories and sugar. Looking to see if there are better options out there. I get sleeved in November and start my liquid pre-op diet for 10 days on 10/31

      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.
