Hi everyone my name is erica, I started my 2 week pre-op full liquid diet today. All i can say is its 445pm and i'm sooooooo hungry. But I need to understand the commitment/lifestyle change I will be embarking on as of Oct., 13th. Yup Oct 13th is the big day. I'm very nervous, but finding this forum is exciting and reading all the questions and post has really helped.

Hi, Erica! I too just started my pre-op diet. I'm getting banded on October 7th. I too am getting soooo hungry between 3pm and 5pm. I'm hoping there's something I'm missing that could take the hunger away. I've finished day 2 and no cheating, even though work had donuts. Ugh!

My pre op is 8 days of 3 shakes per day, 2 Snacks that consist of 1/2 cup of fruit, 1 cup yogurt, or 1 cup salad. Then, 2 days Clear liquids.

If anyone has some ideas on how to curb the hunger, it would be so helpful.

I'm using unjury and GNC Amp shakes.

Thanks!

I just started my pre-op diet today:

No caffeine - withdrawal headache really bad

No sugar

No more than 1100 calories per day

No less than 60 g Protein per day

Protein Bar or shake starting at 7:30 a.m. and every three hours after (using EAS AdvantEDGE carb control protein products)

One meal can be a healthy frozen dinner like Healthy Choice

If I still have calories left over I can add a lean meat to my dinner.

No soda - getting ready for not being able to have it after surgery.

I am scheduled for banding on October 17th! Good Luck to us all!

hello ladies, well were in this together. basically i'm on a 2wk full liquid high protien low carb diet. I can replace one meal with a chicken breast and veggies, but that basically it. So far so good, my hunger has gotten under control. I'm getting excited , time is almost here. Please let me know how your procedures go. good luck to us all.
