Ugh, I know it sucks. Mine starts next week and it sounds awful. Can you have any sugar free Jello or sugar free popsicles/water ice? Maybe that can help. It's definitely not easy, everyone says it's one of the difficult parts. But every day down you're THAT much closer to your surgery day! You can do this!!!! Sending you all the good vibes and positivity!



I start my pre op Diet next week too! We can do this !!!

I start my liquid diet on 1st November. I go through stages of excited to start / can't wait, through to 'this is going to be so hard' and everything else in between. This is getting real now! This last week I feel as though every day has been like the last meal, I have said farewell to red wine with a toast, a final salute to chicken kiev and mashed potato and a "get out of my pantry'' to any other demons that may be lurking there. Yep, I think I'm good to go now, bring on 15th November!

Just checking in to see how everyone's pre op diet is going? I'm on day 3 and so far so good. I keep hearing it gets easier as the days go by. I'm allowed hard boiled egg whites and I think that helps a bit. Though my surgeon didn't give me a limit, I allow myself 3 egg whites a day. I haven't worked out while on this diet though :( I feel like it will make me more hungry. Any thoughts? *Nov 9 Surgery Date*

I started my pre op diet today. They have us going 10 days (7 day solids, 3 day full liquids) Only thing I've been feeling is a little bit shaky, but I get some Protein in me and I'm fine. Surgery date is Nov 8th. 10 more days!!!!

      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.
