Hi, I'm new here and so excited to be a part of such a supportive group! I live in SoCal and am going through the program with
Kaiser. We've had 3 meetings and they haven't mentioned a liquid pre-op diet. We are supposed to get our meal plan this week so it will be interesting to see what it turns out to be.

What do you do when hungry in the liquid stage?? I think I worry more about being able to stick to that more than anything. I tried a diet just doing one Meal Replacement shake a day for about 2 months and got so sick of it I don't think I could have drank another one. Was supposed to do 2 a day but couldn't force it down. .

Darkstarwon-

I keep telling myself to keep my eye on the prize. The shakes make me sick if I only do them... but I noticed if I do some broth in between (nice on hot) or a sugar free Jello ( something to somewhat chew) or a sugar free ice pop in between all of the Water it helps alot. You will be amazed what you can accomplish when you have something at stake.

I know exactly how you feel.. I have to drink Glucerna and the only way I can tolerate even one flavor is if I don't let it touch the front of my tongue, otherwise will regurgitate it.. unlike most people I have to deal with this for 12 weeks :70_poop:

Im seeing a dietician now...3 more visits to go...how did u guys determine on what surgery to have...I'm stuck on a decision.


My surgery is not set up but my decision on sleeve was made like this..... Get this out of my body so food doesn't fit anymore... I don't have a hard time losing the weight....biggest loss was 125lbs on a Protein diet.... However I've gained more each time due to my stomach being stretched.... So when they take 2/3 out, there won't be anymore storage place.. Best of luck in chosing what's right for YOU.

This liquid diet has been hard. The first 6 days were surprisingly easy for me. Then as of day 7, wow! Hunger has been unbelievable. Everything I see looks delicious. I've struggled hard! Day 11 and I am down 16 pounds. That has been a great trade off, but definitely not easy.

      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.
