I can only imagine how tough it is...my surgeon had no pre-op diet...but even post-op when I was on liquids for two weeks, I was hungry--truly hungry and not just head hunger...it gets better post-op when you can have soft foods and denser protein...just hang in there--in the long run, this will be a distant memory

Yo Abba!, Since I am also June forth, here in Delaware, I know EXACTLY what you are going through. There is no easy way, just keep focused and think of your next steps, I reckon. We can do it!!

My surgery date is tomorrow, June 3, but today is the first day on Clear Liquids. I'm with you guys...I'm hungry today! I've been trying to keep my mind off of it by cleaning my house...it's also keeping me from being nervous about the surgery. I also look at it as a preview of the days right after surgery.

Lucky you only had one day of the liquid diet but I never heard of just one day though. 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, mine was a week.

My surgeon uses Medifast, and the length of time you do the pre op diet is determined by your BMI. I am lucky that I only had to do one week -- I can't imagine doing this for 2. My surgery is tomorrow and for some reason, I'm not nervous -- go figure! I am a conversion from lap band, so there's about a 20% chance there will be too much scar tissue in my stomach to do the sleeve; I hope and pray that's not the case, but by this time tomorrow night I will know for sure!

@Tigerbelle -- you were hungry post op?? That's discouraging! I haven't heard anyone say that hunger was an issue after surgery.

@PainintheGlass -- good luck tomorrow!

Not everyone loses hunger after surgery...especially in the initial phase until you are cleared for puréed or soft foods. But everyone is different....

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
