Who started their pre-op diet today? I've been awake for 4 hours, and all I've had is a SF popsicle. Not doing good. How is everyone else doing?

I started mine today. I'm good so far with just drinking the shakes - i get 4 a day and a low-carb meal. Haven't really been hungry between the shakes and all the water. But I'm going too have to switch my brand of protein powder because I'm not gonna last for 2 weeks with Bariatric Advantage! The artifical taste and gumminess is making me want to puke!

I am scheduled for August 28th, but my preop diet doesnt start until the 23rd.

That's great. You'll only feel the pain for a week, lol. I fixed Chocolate Splendor from Unjury, and I can hardly get it down without gagging.

I actually started a week ago just to get a jump on it. But today is my "official" start date. I get liquids only for the next 14 days. I'm doing optifast so 5 shakes a day made with water or 4 if I use milk. Definitely recommend spacing them out every 3 hours and making sure you drink lots of water. Also for dinner I eat some broth or fat free cream of chicken. Technically I'm not supposed to eat the cream of chicken but I lost 9 pounds last week so it's still working!! Hope that helps.

I'll be starting my pre op tomorrow. Good luck everyone )))))

I am drinking Isopure protein shakes (cookies and cream) and its not bad at all. I can live with that.

Thanks for starting this thread! Let's stick together even after the "big day"!!!

I was thinking about trying these glad you mentioned am not on Pre op diet but I have been doing shakes already.

I didn't do too well today with the protein shakes. I drank an Unjury Chocolate Splendor and a Strawberry Sorbet. I haven't cheated or anything, but I'll have to do something different if I want to make it 2 weeks.

Drank a late night Unjury chicken broth, pretty tasty.

The headaches are pretty bad today, just took some pain medicine and I'm gonna lay down before going to the gym. I tried the Chike Banana and Vanilla today, and I'm convinced that I won't ever like any of them. I'm force feeding myself, yuck. The liquid diet itself isn't bad, just the yucky tasting shakes. Hope everybody is holding strong.

I had a horrible headache today too. I was drinking the Bariatric Advantage shakes until I realized that the taste and smell of all of the added Vitamins were giving me an instant headache. So I got some Total Lean RTD shakes from GNC and some Body Fortress whey from Wal-Mart and it was all good.

I've done liquid diets in the past, so between 4 shakes and the Water, I'm not hungry. Plus I get one low-carb meal a day and can snack on cucumbers and sugar-free popsicles, so...so far so god for day 2.

I had a terrible headache today also - hope this Gershwin easier:)

My surgery is Aug. 23rd and I am hating the protein shakes. They all seem to gag me. I cheated today and ate a piece of sliced ham but it had 9 protein

I know I'm not getting enough in, but I gag when I try to drink them too. I LOVE Premier Protein and Atkins, but my doctor said those aren't allowed on his pre-op diet, so I'm trying to follow the rules. Everyone says it gets better after the 3rd day, so we should all start feeling better soon.
