Just wanted to post some encouragement for everyone starting the preop diet. I’m on day 10 and I promise it does get better. I’m still hungry but I don’t have headaches and feel crappy. My surgery is in 5 days so that is motivation to stay strong! Good luck to everyone in surgery today!

Thanks! Today is day 1 of my liquid diet and I'm struggling!

If you weren't nervous, you wouldn't be human. I'm the Brave Little Engine,that Could and I realize,i'm setting,off into a brave new 🌍world. Can be only,be few who have studied more what will happen than I, been 3 years after all. We are going into a place where we do have a map, but what if the map isn't right? Cliffs may have fallen, New roads may have been built. And none of us knows exactly how our own bodies will react to this 🌀challenge. But we still go forward, we've come too far to turn around. And we see the stars shining ahead., don't we?😛🌞☀🌈

I am scheduled to have gastric bypass on August 27th. I will know more after I go for my presurgical appointment on Monday. I am amazed at how fast this happened after I submitted my 6th month doctor monitored diet paperwork to BCN.

My sleeve surgery is on Monday the 13th! Starting my two day Clear Liquids only today! The two week pre op diet was difficult mentally more than physically but I am so excited to be moving to the next stage and so nervous for surgery

Started my liquid pre-op diet yesterday. I have horrible stomach cramps now! Could it be the Protein Shakes? You would think this healthy eating would cause awesome BMs but nope! Ugh 😑

Today was the first time I really understood how small my stomach was. So I made scrambled eggs. Just one egg. I ate maybe a forth of it and was full.

      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.
