I am on day two of my pre-op diet and its already killing me. The clinic I am having my surgery through asks for a 3 week very low calorie diet. It consists of 2 protein shakes and 1 protein bar (chosen by the clinic). I can then have half a cup of veggies a day. I am already having a very hard time and am wondering if anyone can give me some suggestions.

My surgeon requires 3 weeks of striaght liquids pre op and then two weeks post op. 5 weeks only liquids. I understand your frustruation. Trust me. I'm on day 1.

The first three days are the hardest. After that it really does get easier.

Also, make sure to drink a lot. sugar free Jello can be a nice treat.

it does get eaisier i promise, you might still be hungry all the time but you get used to it. hang in there it is worth it in the end. this is the last time you have to starve yourself for weight loss get some sugar free jello, it's been helping me alot.

Ask if you can have suger free popsicles and or jello. Full disclosure I could not get jello down after surgery even though I could only have jello, broth, and protein shakes.

It does get easier! I have three Protein shakes a day and broth for dinner. I don't care too much for the Jello or popsickles!I have to do two weeks pre op and four weeks post op! and only broth first week post op!! I am a week and a half into my liquids and its gotten alot better i cried on thanksgiving!
