Oh dear you guys I am feeling so disappointed in myself already!
First day of my pre-op diet today, and i went all good while I was at work but then I got home and I was starving and I just ate so much crap which I shouldn't have at all. Like canned tuna and cheese haha so random but it was just the first thing I could get my hands on that was instant food. Ugh feel quite disgusted in myself actually. The mental side of this is going to be such a struggle for me even after the surgery...I mean even though I know I am doing this for my health etc I still couldn't stop myself eating those things. Its like the hungry beast takes over and I lose control. So lame :/


I thought I had replied to you before, but I didn't see it. I am scheduled for the same day. I started my pre-op diet too. I've practiced it before, just so that I would know what to expect.... but starting the actual pre-op diet has been crazy. All of a sudden, I am craving foods because I know that I won't be able to eat them again. It truly messes with your head.
If you need someone to chat with, message me.

yes I am allowed 3-4 x Optifast products and 2 cups of vegetables from an approved list.
I probably went wrong as I only had 2 optifast products and some homemade vege broth so by the time I got home at dinner time I was starving and ate stupid things while I was cooking dinner.
Have had my big plate of veges now, and I'm feeling satisfied again. Tomorrow will be a better day I am sure!
Thanks for the suggestion, I might try that tomorrow veges for lunch and Soup for dinner instead maybe [emoji4]


I think you are lucky here. I am not allowed food. Strictly Protein Shakes. They did say sugar free popsicles and jell-o, but I can't have either because that type of stuff gives me indigestion. :(

If you have to use a fork or knife to eat it, probably don't.

If it's liquid, probably go for it.

Hope this helps :)

ps - Did they give you a nutritionist?

      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.
