Your doctor should give you an outline of what they want you to do. Different doctors have different plans. I did 2 weeks of 3-4 Protein shakes/day and unlimited veggies.

I start my 2 week preop diet tomorrow. I get Protein Shakes and Clear Liquids. I am not 100% sure how I feel about it all right now but I know tomorrow I am going to be feeling some kind of way. I am a hairstylist and on my feet for 8 hours a day so I worry about how much energy I will have.

I started my pre op diet on 3/20 but surgery is on the 4/5 . Today day three has been the worst so far but has to be worth it in the end ! Tired and hungry and nervous !

I started my 2 week pre-op on March 16th. The first couple of days are tough but it's gotten easier for me. I'm only allowed 4 Protein Shakes and 2 Protein Bars, and 3 servings of sugar free popsicles and Jello and clear broth per day. I've created a schedule where I'm constantly drinking a Protein shakes or some type of Fluid so that I'm not hungry.

You've got this. Good luck!

I am into day 1, and I think I underestimated how tired I would feel! I am a hair stylist so I'm working busy busy on my feet. I've had a premiere Protein chocolate shake, Water, some sf Jello, a Syntrax Nectar shake, and now I'm drinking water with mio flavor with b Vitamins hoping it will give me a boost. I'm emotional. I'm shaking and I'm sluggish.
I know the first few days are the hardest but geez. I just wanna crawl in a hole and cry. I'm not hungry, I just feel like junk.

      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.
