Depends on what you are allowed on your liquid diet. I was allowed vegetables so I am eating a lot. I am trying to switch up the Protein Shakes so I'll have Protein popsicles and hot chocolate shakes, for instance. If I get too hungry, I drink Water and look at before/afters. Keep busy, sleep a lot and take it one day at a time. I have 5 left to go ! You got this :)

Hey guys!

June 28th here! I’m starting to freak myself out! Pre op diet begins on June 21st.

I haven’t told anyone I’ll be having this done besides my boyfriend. Work doesn’t even know. They just think I’ll be out of town for awhile. I haven’t told a soul because I don’t want to hear any backlash.

My preop diet has been a bit of a disaster. My surgery is on Monday @1pm. So all Protein Shakes and Protein Water for the weekend. I’m looking forward to being on the other side when I’m all tooled up

Mine is June 7th. I have been doing low carb high Protein mod fat diet. I was not required to do anything other than maintain carbs under 50 best I can for ten days. Today I will start liquid. And I think I will avoid coffee also. I had gained 10 pounds a month ago. Eating what I wanted. I have not had carb cravings like thought. I have lost probably 5 pounds n inches. Now I am nervous.

Hi everyone I have surgery on the 27 of this month. Getting ready to start my pre op diet in 6 days, the last 3 days is a liquid diet not looking forward to that. Any tips would be great. Hope everyone is well and happy.

Hello. I’m in Australia so I went to the local private hospital. It’s been good so far, I was well hydrated before the procedure and have been on drips since. I’m going home tonight. My surgeon likes to keep people a few days post to up your fluids before they send you home.

If I keep drinking as well as I have been I will be good, now the focus is Protein. I’m one of the lucky ones, I can still drink, and enjoy, Water.

My weight gain was due to bad food choices, overeating and neglecting my health. My nutritionist has told me to stay on liquids for another week and then purée/soft for 4 weeks. I’ve been told to stick to 1/2 cup per meal of food rich in protein.

      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.
