Hey guys my surgery date is Dec 27th. I was ordered to start my liquid diet the 13th , today is the 19th and I'm finally fully sticking with it. I had some issues in the beginning, where instead of one bowl of Soup a day; I would eat two a day etc. Not cheating bad but cheating is still cheating. I'm here to tell you after 2 / 3 days on it, it honestly does get so so so much easier. I'm doing great now on only two Protein Shakes a day & one serving of soup. I looked for a discussion about PRE op diets everywhere on here it feels like and couldn't find one.. so I just wanna tell anyone who's reading this, you've got it! Fight your cravings through the first few days and I promise you it'll get easier.

It definitely gets easier! Luckily, I wasn't as hungry as I expected I'd be. The only bad thing I experienced was a mild headache, but I was able to get rid of it within 30 minutes. I have to say, the Protein Shakes most likely saved me from feeling miserable. They kept the hunger at bay, especially since they're rather tasty. :)

I heard most people start feeling better, as far as hunger goes, on the 3rd or 4th day. It's best to keep busy and stay far away from anything that looks or smells yummy.

I am on my pre op diet. Bypass on the 27. There is definitely a battle of the will going on. So glad I only have 7 more days. I can do anything for 7 more days. Staying focused. Thanks brennafaith...I needed to see this.

I'm on the 27th as well! #twinning ....I cheated today. I had a small salad with no dressing. I'm not even sure why I did it. My stomach has been really upset and I can't stop using the bathroom. I thought maybe it would have but it's not lol. Tomorrow right back to my game plan. I don't feel as hungry as I thought I would and I want something, don't know what, so I just don't get anything.

Was there anything that helped your headache? I get bad Migraines and am fearful for my pre op diet.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
