After surgery you won't be hungry much. As soon as you eat something, you'll be full. I broke down one day, and have a pack of Lance crackers, that was it, had to skip my meal.

Yes that’s what I keep reading. It’s like this is the hardest part because I’m aware that I can still eat the food. But I’m determined to beat this food cravings and not give in. I have to keep fighting.

Thanks Star! You started early. Today so far I’ve had Water and a oíkos zero sugar yogurt. It alone has 15 grams of Protein. lunch will be Premier Protein shake. They’re not too bad.

[emoji38] You say that now, but after surgery, and another 2 weeks liquid, they will drive you insane.....

I think this pre op diet is harder than the whole surgery. It’s so hard

Really? I haven’t even been given an idea of what it might be. Glass half full, when I go to pre-op I’ll only have a week until surgery [emoji33]

I am scheduled for surgery on April 25th! My Dr requires a 1 week pre-op diet so I start mine on the 18th, but this week I'm trying to slowly change my diet so that I don't go into shock next week lol.
Good luck to you on your new journey!
I'll be look forward to your updates!

The week before I technically had to start I started this with just one healthy meal a day so I wouldn’t go in shock. I know my brain/body and have to ease into things. So the transition wasn’t too bad. Good luck!

So, I got my pre-op diet plan. Two days before I have to do stage 2, the full Fluid stage where I can have yogurt, Protein Shakes, and cream of wheat. One day before is nothing but Clear Liquids, so it won’t be tooooooo bad.

      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.
