Pre Op Liquid Diet...really?

Ok, so I'm doing my pre op liquid diet. 4 bottles of slim fast high protein shakes, some veggies and a handful of fruit. Seriously??? Is it me? I am soooo hungry! These bottles of slim fast are so small! I don't want to mess up but I feel like I could eat my arm!!! Any suggestions??? I'm trying to fill up on water....

    I start mine wed. My diet is clear liquids, SF jello, SF Popsicles and 1-3 advantage protein drinks. That's it. :-(. More nervous about the preop than the surgery itself! Lol

    Slimfast? Are they joking? Get on the web and go to Unjury and or Bariatric Advantage sites. Order yourself some REAL protein powders, mix them in a blender with some skim milk and I think you will be amazed at the difference in how you feel. Spring for the overnight shipping. You don't have to be that miserable.

    I started yesterday, its been alot better than I thought it would be. My son went to camp, so I knew I would not be cooking for him for a few days, and that has helped a lot! I was told after day 3, its all good. Here's hoping! When I get hungry, I eat a popsicle or drink some Water. Its helping so far...We got this!

    I am on my next to the last day of preoperative. My surgery is thurs. I have been doing one premiere protein shake for breakfast, one shake for lunch, one serving lean protein and non-starchy vegetables for dinner. I have been drinking a lot of water and walking each day. The water and the walking seem to help me with hunger. I really, really don't want to have to lose the same weight twice.
