My preop diet allows for 1 meal a day 4oz of chicken breast, tuna or a meat a veggie. I started mine early eliminating carbs, then sugars. Hanging in there my date is 7/30. Good luck on your journey and keep in touch. I take this one day and one hour at a time.

I hope you have a quick and smooth recovery. My date is July 30. I'm on the presurgical diet now.

I found that the pre-op diet was the hardest. Mentally and physically I knew I could eat what I wanted and be fine so it really put my will-Power to the test. After procedure, not the slightest bit hungry nothing seems to bother me as much.

I had a neighborhood swim party with the ladies, took my ice tea and stayed in the pool so I wouldn't be tempted. Some days not terrible some days one hour at a time. I weigh in each morning hoping it will give me some strength. Husband is gone this week so it has been easier, next week he will be back with all the temptations. So happy to hear that after surgery things will get easier. So happy to hear the recovery is going well for you.

Had mine July 3. Just got clearance to start exercise besides walking. Just a little sore when moving in certain positions. Only real problem I had was 1st week I had a terrible headache but I adjusted. Clear liquid was fine but I can live without Jello now. Excited to start 4th week foods. Lost 19 lbs but I expect it to slow down now that I get to eat some chicken and tuna. I can’t wait to see results in 6 months.

Hi! I just had mine July 2nd and happy with the weight loss so far. I'm still not eating solid foods and I think I'm a little scared to try after trying scrambled eggs last week and they didn't stay down. Have you tried those yet? Also, when you do your chicken and tuna, will you be blending it up? I'm almost over eating Soup but again, scared to try the next foods.

      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.
