I start my pre-op diet tomorrow. I pray I don’t cheat. Anyone else starting tomorrow?

Oh my! I'm almost done with mine and have not cheated because I decided to take "cheat" out of my vocabulary. : It really hasn't been as bad as I anticipated. I have not been hungry at all, and except for a very slight headache the 2nd day, no adverse effects. I hope yours goes as well!

I'm doing good so far. I'm not hungry but my co-worker keeps talking about different foods. Ugh!

I started the pre-op diet Friday & surgery is on Wednesday. 2nd & 3rd days were the hardest. You can do this!

Almost done with day 1. I was fine all day. It’s just now starting to get a little challenging as I have to get my kids dinner.

You’re lucky you only have to do 6 days. I have to do 2 weeks.

I know I was very lucky! The day they got my approval they had a cancellation & I was lucky enough to get in.

Yeah when they called me with my approval they had just given a cancellation to someone else. I told her if anyone else cancels to let me know right away. Good luck!

      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.
