Matthew2045 11 Posted July 9, 2019 Yesterday marks two weeks pre-op. I am getting nervous and struggling on the all liquid. I feel so hungry any advise? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orchids&Dragons 9,047 Posted July 9, 2019 The pre-op diet is rough, no denying it. You really need to power through and focus on the long-term goals. Even if you struggle with the liquids, try to pack them down. It helps to calm your hunger. Also, try chewing on sf popsicles or frozen Protein Drinks. They (at least) make you feel like you're eating. Good luck! 1 KatieMc reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GradyCat 3,696 Posted July 9, 2019 You can do it! It's just two weeks and it shrinks your liver and it's so worth it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matthew2045 11 Posted July 9, 2019 I am trying to push thorough hoping some broth will help 1 KatieMc reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mickeygmg 25 Posted July 9, 2019 Try different flavors. I found it helpful to alternate flavors. chocolate, vanilla, caramel, clear fruit protien drinks, a lemonade drink, beef broth, chicken broth. Sweet, sour and savory. Hang in there. Try to remind yourself of the reasons you are here. I wish you the best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We are almost sleeve twins, my surgery is July 30. I'm so excited! I start my diet this weekend. My doctor said Protein Drinks except for one tiny meal and he gave a list of what I can eat. I will probably stick with cottage cheese. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
