Hi guys today is my 1st day of my 10 day liquid diet before surgery and Im starving, what else can i have other yhan Protein shakes.

Sleeve day January 28

Sugar free Popsicles!

Try sugar free jello.

I know it's hard but hang in there. The first three days were the hardest for me. Every time you feel hungry, drink broth, drink water, a protein shake, anything to help with the hunger. Good luck! Keep us posted.

Thank you guys, can I have sugar free pudding and or thin cream of wheat?

sf popsciles and Jello...try to hang in there....I did it for 3 weeks (the extra week was by choice, I know glutton for punishment) I hit "the wall" on day 3, once I got past day 3, it was smooth sailing...

you can do it! stay positive!!!!

I'm on day six, and unlike a lot of people that sweet SF stuff just seems to make me hungrier. Nothing kills my munchies like a nice HOT mug of chicken broth.

I agree with NurseGrace, HOT stuff helped me. I was allowed tomato soup and low fat strained cream of chicken soup (or cream of mushroom. That is what tided me over between shakes

I'm on day 3 and totally feel your pain. Unfortunately my doctor's office didn't send me my pre op diet til 2 days before and I was not prepared. So tomorrow I can finally make it to the grocery store to buy all the sugar free items. Stay strong and if you need to vent, just msg me!

I'm glad my surgeon didn't require a pre-op diet, I just had to do clear liquids the day before surgery. I really don't think I could've stuck to it! :-/

I am two months out for my surgery my surgeon has suggested an early start on the liquid diet one protein shake for breakfast one for lunch chicken and broccoli or green for dinner anyone else have to do this

My surgery is on Monday the 21st and I started liquid diet on Monday consisting of three protein shakes a day along with Greek yogurt, s/f jello, broth, & light low carb dinner consisting of 3-4 oz of lean meat with two cups of salad or non starchy veggies for dinner. According to nutritionist, this shrinks your liver but also the extra protein in your body will help with the healing.

Hi just and warning, before you start eating Popsicle's, and jello, ask your doctor. I'm on my last day of the pre-op liquid diet, and I was only allowed protein shakes and crystal light, propel zero, etc

There was no negotiation, on that part. We all have different doctors with different rules. So just double check.

I just know it was not a pleasant two weeks of dieting, but I did follow what my physician told me to do, and yes I did survive it. For those of you who don't have to do it or get easier diets, YAY for you!!!!! But honestly, follow your doctor's wishes because there is logic behind their rules. Oh....BEST OF LUCK!! This is a short two weeks to the NEW YOU!

I only had to do a 3 day yogurt and liquid diet and I thought I was going to die! I can't imagine doing it longer. All I can say is hang in there and good luck! Ugh! Hey.. The good thing is.. It's a lot easier post- surgery when you have no hunger.. What a blessing, I love my new tummy :-)

Hi guys today is a better day, yesterday was hard really hard. My Dr gave me a paper said 10 days of liquid diet and that was it. My Nut told me anything that is liquid or can go through a straw. So I am left buying protein shakes and broth and sugar free jello and reading, the sleeve is New to my hospital and I think that they are doing the best they can. I dont have a good relationship with my Dr for whatever reason he seems very cut and dry so I just try to eat clean and stay healthy. I wish it was a better situation but I am happy that I am finally getting my Sleeve I started this journey in Sept.
