So excited. Kind of weird they told me no pre op diet was needed. Just a fast the day prior. Anyone else have this? Follow me on IG screen name: michelle_wls

Congrats on getting your date. Mine is May 11th. I think it is normal for them to tell you that no pre op diet is required. It depends on person to person and how comfortable the surgeon feels accessing your stomach. Mine told me to diet only for a week but not to be too harsh on myself. I am however required to do the 1 day fast prior to surgery.

Three week diet here of 2 MR shakes, 100g Protein and 300g veggies allowed daily. Max of 68g carbs a day allowed so been fun with headaches.

Our diets tho are to shrink liver as if it's too big they just close up. One week to go!

Awe no sorry about the headaches, I hear it gets better after the first week. I think I'm going to try to do one to two weeks on my own for that reason. Even though I wasn't told to. I feel safer knowing there won't be a fatty liver in the way. Best of luck to you in your liquid diet!

I am 5 weeks post-op and was shocked when I was told no special diet was needed before surgery - just liquids 24 hours prior and nothing by mouth after midnight. I had no difficulty at all with surgery. The restriction that comes naturally after surgery lends itself to helping you make the right choices with your diet after surgery. Best wishes.

      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.
