Hunger during pre-op liquid phase



Recommended Posts

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...

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
