hahahaha no, the surgeon is just preparing your liver ;) Hang in there! You'll look back on this as your first stepping stone. It also makes the post op diet easier to transition to.

I have been getting creative with my pre-op diet and live off of broth & Jello. What is your pre-op diet? Keep you eye on the prize!

Prtien baby...seriously ...only thing that cuts down the hunger. Muscle Milk rocks....try it...get the vanilla creme because the chocolate is a poor imitation of a true chocolate taste....and the vanilla perhaps you could even add flavors to. 22 g of Protein per 14 oz shake....easy to get in enough that way.

I was able to drink slim fast as my shake. That really helped. Then I had my broth. And when my hunger was unbearable, I had as many jellos as I needed just to keep me going. Its not easy but try to keep yourself busy too. I'm two days after operation and I have to say that I'm not struggling now with the hunger. So, it does help to do this now. It will be easier later.

Good Luck!!!

The Jello & broth are my saviors. I have at least 4 jellos in the fridge ready to go. So I don't get off track. I went to a 2 movie's and I love popcorn. I just took 2 jellos with me to keep me busy. Every time I just ate 1 Jello. I always carry back up food with me in case I get hungry.

How did your surgery go? How do you feel? Keep me posted. I get banded this Wednesday. Have a great weekend!

I wish I could drink shakes. My pre-op diet is 3oz Protein and 1 cup vegetables for each meal. Snacks are Jello and broth. They said if I need I can increase the portions, but do not cheat with other food. That is it!!

My surgery date is also this Wednesday, 2/9.

What helps me is I wait as long as I can in the morning to have Breakfast. If I occupy myself I am not in a rush and that helps with getting hungry in between meals.

JerseyMom29, It sounds like your doctor is trying to get you in the habit of band eating. Your diet is basically what my doctor recommends for post op eating, once your allowed back on solids. Until you have restriction it will be all about will power so this is good practice.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
