I'm getting sleeved on march 18th and today is the first real day of my pre-op diet. I'm really excited but I am STARVING! Does anyone have any suggestions or "free" food that is filling? Thanks y'all.

Meat, veggies and shakes. They are not free, but they are not carbs or crap. If you have to do clear liquids, add protein to broth or have an extra shake. Have lots of hot tea and water. Keep the protein up to help with hunger. I figured it was better to have an extra shake rather than blow it having a carby food that would negatively impact my liver and thus... My surgery. A huge piece of this is just sucking it up and doing the thins that we need to do. Hang in there. Best of luck.

Sugar free jello and popsicles.

I also started my pre op diet today.... My surgery is on April 2nd. I'm already soo hungry and I'm having a hard time seeing myself being able to stick to this for the whole 21 days Any one have any tips to make the shakes taste a lol better?

Thanks everyone. We CAN DO THIS!!!!! but if I see another commercial for food I'm going to scream! I already cleaned the cabinets and fridge today.

I am on day 2 of the preop diet with surgery on the 21st. I purchased Isopure Protein powder from GNC. I have Mango/Peach (I think it has peach). It doesn't taste too bad. I am also drinking Pure Protein drinks from costco.

At dinner I get to have a small portion of meat and vegetables. Dinner has never been so satisfying.

Good luck,

Jay

try adding a small spoon of peanut butter. I was 95% perfect on my pre-op diet. I did lick peanut butter every now and then. I lost 8 lbs in one week. Chantalen.....You really have to do it for 21 days? that sounds like a long time. Good luck to you. Remember its your life. So do what the dr. says.

Yeah my doctor requires patient with a High BMI or weight over 300lbs do the pre op for 21 days, I only know a few ppl who have been on it this long... And one person who had to do it for 4 weeks (because her weight was over 400lbs)

Im having surgery on March 19th. Pre-op diet day 1 was today and I thought i was gonna attack ppl with food at work lol. I never appreciated my dinner so much (6oz grilled chicken with mushroom/onions, 1/2 cup of salad and broth)

i can also drink crystal light so i plan on drinking it all day lol

I was out shopping yesterday and had like 3 Atkins shakes I was so hungry with all the food smells. But I remembered what someone here said...."Carbs are the devil!"

Pre-op diet day 2... I have up caffeine and my head is killing me! I thought I'd better do it now than have more problems post op. I don't think I ate enough yesterday. I'm going to force myself to eat a little more today...my dinner soup was amazing because I was so hungry!

Day 3 of the preop diet and I'm down 4lbs.

Day 1 of pre op. Im hungry but Im hoping that in a few days my body will adjust. I guess this is the countdown. Im scheduled for the 27th!!

I require a nap or two during the day now that I am on the preop diet. Anyone else?

Im exhausted and feel sick. I have to get 70 grams protein and i just drank 2 glucerna shakes to reach 25 g so far today.

Seriously, try the Unjury chocolate. It tastes like chocolate milk and each shake has 21gm of protein EACH. They ship really fast. I have tried five different brands and the Unjury is the one I know I will be able to keep down after surgery.
