Hello Everyone!

My name is Ruby Hernandez. I am 18 years old and my VSG surgery is on May 13, 2019. It’s coming up so soon! I am becoming really frusturated with my 2-Week Pre-Op liquid diet. Tomorrow is Day 7 and I have already lost 9 lbs. I have not cheated at all throughout this whole diet and I would like to keep it that way. Any tips on how to avoid yourself from cheating? Thanks! 💜

Think about the potential complications of not adhering to the diet. That helped me a lot. And remember that after surgery you won't be hungry! You'll wonder why it was even hard to do the pre OP diet.

Thank you for the response, Vsho. Thinking about the potential complications has been the main reason why I’ve stayed strict on this diet. Also because I refuse to let food control me. Thanks, again!

      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.
