Stay the course and stick to the plan. It will be difficult at first but remember you are one step closer to surgery day.

Good luck.

Mine started yesterday! Are you on only liquids or can you have a meal?

It’s so interesting to see how different every surgeon is. We don’t have to do the 2 week preop diet. Our only requirement is liquid only the day before surgery and nothing the morning of.

Try filling up on no calorie things, diet Jello, popsicles, broth etc. To help cut down on hunger. Stay the course and it will be over before you know it.

To me the pre-op was harder than afterwards. Its hard, but you will love your results. Congrats and best wishes!💗

Stick to it. It's there for a reason. It's important to follow the program to the letter. Drink a variety or fluids to keep you interested. sugar-free popsicles are a lifesaver.

Wow lucky you, I have to do 14 days of liquid with one healthy meal daily.

I am on day 3 of my one week liquid diet, and it isn't so bad. I am allowed up to 5 shakes a day, sugar- free Jello and popsicles, and 2 cups of any combo of fruit or veggies a day. I have not found myself to be hungry, but my brain definitely wants to eat!

I have to do my pre-op diet for 2 weeks. The first night I had a massive headache That has finally gone away. It is interesting that each doctor prescribes a different pre-op diet for everybody.

      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.
