Good luck. My surgeon told me not to cheat on the pre-op diet at all. He said that the first 3-4 days will be rough, but after that, I shouldn't be hungry anymore. If I cheated, i would be hungry the whole time. It turned out to be true. So much so that the last day of Clear liquids was a breeze.

I'm on day 4, (surgery on the 19th).

I am allowed 3 Protein shakes and 250 cal worth of veggies. I do drink some sugar free calorie free non carbonated liquids, like Decaf tea.

Good luck!

Thanks! And your preop is kind of like mine. First week is two shakes one high Protein and veggie meal 350 cal and under and second week two shakes one meal.

How is your preop diet going? Was it hard at first?

I start my pre-op diet Tuesday (surgery the 24th) - mine is one lean meat & veg meal and Meal Replacements the rest of the day. I'm also allowed up to one cup of fruit per day which I figure will make great Snacks for those time my body thinks it is starving. I was really afraid I was going to have to have a full liquid diet for two weeks, so this diet was both a relieve and seemed easy in comparison.

Good luck!

Nice to know, I'm reading up as much as I can so I can be as prepared as possible and not have too many surprises, all the posts are so important for me. Tyfs

Want to know how to totally succeed on your first day of your pre-op diet? Get a REALLY nasty stomach bug! I recommend it for NO ONE. OMG I feel like I did a thousand crunches, but I also went from 314 to 306 in like 36 hours! Like I said, I don't recommend it. It was not fun.

I hope everyone else is doing good on their pre-op diets!

Day 3 for me, the first two days were pretty hard, but hopefully it'll be easier today. Also hope you're feeling better!

I am better now, but sadly it took a round at the ER with 2 IV bags of fluids to get my dehydration under control. I hope no one else gets this nasty virus! I was able to have some solid food tonight - 1/2 chicken breast and some tomatoes.

      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.
