I started yesterday its tough! I will have surgery on 12/19 also. Today I tried to have something every 2 hours (coffee, shake, chicken broth, sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles, hot tea) and drinking Water in between to feel full.

I'm not to that point yet but did have to do a clear liquid diet for 24 hours last week. I was dreading it but also knew it would give me a tiny idea of what's to come. I ended up doing quite well with it, only getting hungry at one and five. Both times I guzzled down some Water and the hunger was gone.

Premier Protein powder mixed in with EVERYTHING! Helps with the hunger.

Good luck and best of wishes!

I started my pre op diet on the 2nd and I have a number of posts on this forum complaining about it. Everyone keeps saying just stick with it and the outcome is worth it

I started liquid today! Surgery date 12/20.

quick question - are you in Philly?Just going by your username haha

I started mine on Monday. The first day was the hardest so far for me. Horrible headaches, stomach pain, and sleepiness. The headache I know was from not having coffee. You can do this. Remember the reason you are doing this!

I started my preop diet yesterday (getting sleeved in Mexico 12/21).

I purchased every flavor of broth and several different flavors of Crystal Light type packets. I have vanilla, chocolate, banana and caramel shakes, and I have those bottles flavor extracts from the baking aisle (peppermint, cherry, orange, lemon, maple, etc.) to add to my shakes for different flavors. I haven't actually used those for shakes (I bake a lot) but I know it's a legal way to jazz up the shakes when I get to that point.

Get a VARIETY of flavors of everything that you are allowed. Don't just stock up on one type of broth and one type of drink powder and one flavor of shake.

I like novelty, it's why I'm fat. If I didn't have half dozen broth options, a number of sugar free drink flavors, and infinite shake flavor possibilities, I would lose my mind.

Also, don't allow yourself to run completely out of broth, shakes, or drink stuff. Don't put yourself in a vulnerable situation, it's hard enough as it is.

Oh my oh my I think I found a way to get through this liquid diet. I had some Decaf coffee (I am allowed on my diet) I hadn't finished yet so when it was time for my 3:00pm vanilla Protein shake I added some to my coffee and it was delicious! Felt like I was having one of those fancy drinks from Starbucks! This will officially become my 3:00pm treat to get me over the afternoon hump!
