Hunger during pre-op liquid phase

[Pizzaman 0]

I have been on the pre-op liquid (but not the clear liquid diet) phase for about 4 days now and to my amazement, I am generally not hungry. Has this been the case for most of you?

I'm hoping that my post-op liquid phase will also leave me not feeling hungry, but I see that other posters have not been so lucky.

I am too on the pre-op liquid diet (liver cleanse). This is day 6 for me and I am not hungry at all. I have had a few intestinal problems. I am not sure if that is caused by the Protein powder or my liver getting rid of the impurities. Tuesday I switch to all Clear liquids in preparation for my banding on Wednesday.

I have told myself that it doesn't matter how hard this is to tolerate. It is only two weeks out of my life. Soon this will be behind me and I will begin a whole new chapter of my life.

Wishing you all the best.

Good luck with your banding on Wednesday, Sunrise. I get banded the next day.

Were on the liver cleanse for one week or two? I'm on it for a week.

I felt the exact way you two did, Pizzaman and sunrise--could NOT believe I was satiated by just liquids. I now know that it was the Protein supplements that cause you to feel satisfied! But I also KNOW that I could never had done it myself on just liquids/soft foods/protein supplements! When I lost 6 pounds before surgery, my brother the doctor said "Good! Now you don't have to have surgery!"

My very best to both of you this week! (Sunrise, I'm a Western Pa person!!)

I have been on the liver cleanse for 6 of my 9 days. I will continue the same liquid diet for the week following my surgery.

I am sitting here now having a VERY berry Protein shake and it is really rather tasty. I think I like this one better than the ones mixed with milk.

I AM SO READY TO DO THIS!!!!!!!

Hi guys, I'm so grateful to hear that liquids can fill you up. I'm being banded on 1/15 and I'm worried I will be hungry during my 2 weeks of liquids. Luckily, I'm not on a pre-op diet as my waist measurement isn't that big - this is the first time my waist has helped me out!

Good luck to all being banded in the coming days

Hi I've started my pre-op liquid diet today. I feel miserable but as soon as I had my yummy slim fast for lunch I felt over the moon NOT!! Oh well it's just something I have to do for 2 weeks and that's it.

I have started mine 2 days earlier .... I could not have started this on Monday during work.

Good luck to everyone on pre-op diet...
