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'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.

      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.
