Ok folks. It has begun. I had my "last" meal last night and started the all liquid pre-op diet today. It wasn't bad. As long as I drank a Protein Shake every 3-4 hours I had no hunger.

I'm one week in to the preop diet. I'm just used to being hungry now. Make sure to drink enough Water. I didn't yesterday and I felt like crap. You can do this!

Thanks Trixie. I noticed when I am at work I am not hungry. The second I get home and have time to think I am hungry. :-(

Hi Mav2126 - how are you getting on? I started my pre op diet today and I’m struggling! I’m 8 hours in and hungry and weak! Does it get better?! Would love to know how yours is going!

I think it is still hard. I am on 6th day and it is still hard. But I have stuck to it and have had zero cheating and I will continue to stick with the program. Sorry to hear you are struggling. Stay strong.

Thanks! Well done - 6 days in is wonderful! You’re doing very well! I’m sure it’ll get better with time... we can only hope! How long until your surgery? I guess it’s harder when you have free time... I need a new hobby!

The pre op diet is harder than recovering from surgery. It's all mental... hang in there and the outcome will be wonderful.

That makes me feel so much better about the surgery, thank you!!
Mostly, the liquid diet is to shrink your liver for surgery. You don't want to get there and they have difficulty reaching your stomach. When I found this out, it made me not want to cheat.

Holy Shi*T.. I just counted the days and realized I have 9 days until I have to start mine and my heart dropped. I don't think I'm worried about the diet itself but the fact that It's that much closer to surgery day.

Best of luck to you that are doing the diet now. Stay strong!!!!

Its the end of my 7th day and I am still alive. I think you do get used to being hungry between drinking shakes. Only 7 more days to go and then it is off to surgery. I took 2 weeks off from work but I hear some people are fine in a couple of days. I hope that will be my experience.

Hang in there! I could've gone back in a week, but I took two weeks off to make sure I felt my best. Good luck

I’m finishing day 8 of my pre-op liquid diet. Day one was a little hard but I took the dietician’s advice and just kept sipping Water throughout the day. I had broth a lot as well. I expected a headache but didn’t get one. By day 3 things got a lot better. I’m less hungry, just bored of the choices.

Today I noticed I’m having some brain fog. Probably lack of calories!!

I’ve lost 14 lbs on this diet - mostly undoing my “last supper” damage done in the last few days, but I’ll take it!

Surgery is on Friday. Scared but also so ready to get this done.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
