I have totally failed this pre-op diet. Thats it. Plain flat out failed at it. I havent stuck to it. At all. Thats just the plain blunt honest to God truth. My BMI is 39, so I hope my liver is not fatty, and they can still do it laproscopic. I mean I have lost about 7 lbs during the 2 weeks from when I did stick to it. Help me, I feel awful.

I dont know. Maybe I jumped to do this surgery too quick. I didnt have a chance to get all the "eating out of my system". I was approved by insurance in one day and surgery was scheduled for 2 days later! I know I can do it, I just HAVE to get my mind there!!!! Maybe I am having a rough moment! I dont know. Now i am scared of them not being able to do it laser. UGH i am so mad at myself.

Hi Robyn... please stop beating yourself up... I only had to do liquids for 1 week prior to my surgery... 4/6/05....

It was really tough and I did sneak a few pretzels here and there...my BMI is also 39... and once my surgery was done and I was home less than 24 hours I was crying on my hubbys shoulder..."What have I done"... that passed pretty quickly when I realized "Why" I did this in the first place... I am now 7 weeks out with one fill... (go for my second on the 31st)... and I can eat anything right now.. its terrible.. I have no control and I have no restriction...but I know it will happen... I will get to that sweetspot and be on the loosing side... so stop beating yourself up... you will be fine.. and you have to just remember you are doing this for you and your family... you will be a healthier you! So.. good luck with your surgery... I will be thinking of you.. let me know how you make out!!!.... just remember to take it easy and let your body heal itself!!!... God Bless....

      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.
