Hello. Congratulations. I wish mine was in August. You're going to be fine. Happy to hear you are doing well with the preop diet. What does your surgeon have you eating? That's what I'm worried about making it through that time and being hungry. At least you only have 3 more days to go. Good luck and keep me posted 😊

I'm on a clear liquid diet. sugar free sports drinks, Water, low sodium beef broth, sugar free Jello, and sugar free popsicles. I'm also allowed Protein Drinks and blended vegetable Soup every other day, though I have to stay away from the soup 2 days before surgery. I can't believe it's almost here. I had my pre-op labs and EKG done this morning at the hospital I'll be having surgery at. It's getting real. I'll definitely keep you posted and let everyone know how surgery went. Wishing us all an easy and speedy recovery.

Good morning, I'm currently at my preop appointment. It's a all day thing. Sept 5 is rapidly approaching. Each day I'm a little more unnerved. I feel like a bride who has spent a year planning her wedding. I just want it over.

Good 4 U CJ, hope everything goes well.

Your preop diet sounds exactly like my after surgery diet. My preop diet is 1 slimfast for Breakfast 1 slimfast for lunch and a frozen lean cuisine for dinner. I can also have 1 cup of celery & carrots for a snack. I guess every doctor and every patient is different. Wishing you a speedy recovery as well.

Yes I'm Sept 5 and I'm on a pre op diet. It seems like everyone has a different diet going. I'm also doing the high Protein low carbs low sugar

Yes, my surgeon gave me a general list of what I can eat. Was yours more specific? If so, what's the structure they gave you? I've had cravings but I have not given in. I'm just not pleasant to be around at the moment [emoji16]

      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.
