One more week and it will be our turn!!!

Yes I'm 2 weeks of 3 shakes a day with sf Jello and sf Popsicles and occasional leafy greens. It's not fun and I'm not fun to be around right now

Hahaha! I had the exact same questions! I'm 6 days post op and SO over the liquid "food". Mom was eating an Italian sub yesterday and I seriously wanted to rip it out of her hands!

Morning sheltermann, CONGRATULATIONS!!! You will be fine and be ready for your journey. My surgery was 7/28/14 and its the best thing I ever did. I'm down 30 lbs and I love it. Just keep sipping and walking, walking is the best advice we all can give u. And most of all be patient and you will be doing great. See you on the sleeve side. Speedy recovery! YOU GOT THIS!!!

Wish you the best of luck! I woke up the morning and said wood, my surgery is tomorrow!!! I'm starting to get nervous too!!

Good Luck! Wish you a fast and speedy recovery. I am next Thursday I go YIKES! Keep us posted it's your new life getting ready to begin:)

4 days post op and I'm feeling a lot better. Hang in there, everyone! It's gets better!

Congratulations!! Please keep us updated on your recovery. My surgery is next Tuesday I'm nervous myself. Walking out a with a new beginning @@sbeltermann I'm so happy for you.

Can't believe my surgery day is here. Getting ready to go to hospital still very nervous. Know this is the right thing for me but can't wait for the surgery and the unknown recovery I will have. I will be remembering everyone on her with their advice to sip and walk, walk, walk. Hoping for a Smooth recovery. Any suggestions please let me know. Can't wait to be on the sleeved side!

Thanks. I'm so glad that there are many others who have been attempting to try other meals. Counting calories and my other techniques are useful. I have created a diet journal to record my journey to a healthier life..

I'm on day 3. My surgery is September 30 as well. I asked my nutritionist can I have food, she replied with a salad with vinegar only or fresh cut vegetables. I don't know if this will help you a little... wishing us all good luck with liquid diet

I t will get easier I am a week out on the pre op and I have had the shakes for Breakfast and lunch and around I have a cup of organic chicken broth or vegetable broth and about 5:30 6:00 I have my dinner of the oz. of chicken turkey or fish 1/2 cup brown rice and a cup of cooked veggies except corn, peas or lima Beans they are no no's and through out the day I have warm tea no sugar or cream or sugar free drinks I hope this helps give you an idea to keep from being hungry.

I'm having the hardest time ever on this liquid diet. I feel hungry, depressed and having second thoughts on having the surgery. The broth is nasty. I can handle the shakes just can't drink a lot. even before I never was a person that constantly drink. Maybe tomorrow will be better

That is odd that they didn't give you detailed instructions. Just have to ask - did they give you detailed instructions for your post-op diet? Because that's the most important. Normally the pre-op diet is an overall low calorie diet that's very low carb/high Protein. 1000 cals a day or so. But some surgeons don't require it, and your start weight is an important factor in how important it is. I would follow up and ask for more info - daily calorie goals, and guidance for protein, carbs and fat. I wish you the best with your surgery!

Hi Everyone,
I asked my nurse what exactly do I need to do for a pre op diet. She said a low fat diet. Definitely the last week before surgery, but sooner the better. She said it helps with the fatty liver. I googled Fatty Liver and some say low fat, some are low carbs. On a low fat diet do I eat carbs like breads and potatoes? wouldn't that just turn into sugars and affect the liver more? Part of me wants to do some of the pre op diets that this board has done. Like a Protein shake for lunch and dinner and a sensible dinner. Any guidance? Should I just call and ask her what she means by low fat? But I know what "Low fat" is. Thanks !
