    I haven't officially started the preop diet yet. My surgery is on the 21st. I bought all of my stuff yesterday and will be easing myself into it over the next couple of days.

I'm on Day 5 (being sleeved 8/12). I've been fine all week long. I had a bit of a test today when I went to happy hour with my coworkers. But, I happily sipped on my protein shake at a local sports bar. :-)

Hey all I am on day 4 of my pre op liquid diet surgery on the 9th. It was hard the first couple days but it is getting easier I have to keep reminding myself this is just one step in getting my life back on the right track. We can do this stay strong everyone. :)

Me too and right now I'm going through! Trying to stay focused! Don't want my shake for the night I'm just calling it a night!

I find that the more I stick to it the easier to becomes. I'm going into the fourth day now. I realized that for this preop diet' date=' I REALLY have to slow down my eating. Sometimes it takes me an hour to drink some broth, have some veggies, whatever it is I'm allowed.

The hardest part now is intermittent hunger and realizing I'm about to go into a habit (grazing, picking up a food and then being like, "WAIT! I can't it this." My plan is to take it hourly.[/quote']

At least you can have something other than just these Protein shakes.

Surgery is 8/7 feeling way tired, lightheaded, etc. Is anyone else having this issue with the prep diet?

Cant say I've been feeling that way but its still early, I'm just on day 3. Your surgery is right around the corner, hopefully after you'll start to feel better. Good luck!! :)

What is everyone allowed to have on their pre op diet and how long does everyone have to do?? (I hear different from everyone!)

My surgery is on the 8th. I have to do do 2 weeks, Clear liquids only.

HAS ANYONE CHEATED?? I am having so much trouble with not cheating!

My pre-op diet is shakes for Breakfast and lunch with 2 Snacks and a palm size meat (no skin, or fat, or oil) and 3 hand-fulls of veggies for dinner for 2 weeks.

I haven't cheated so far but I probably would if I just had a clear liquid diet like you lol. Stay strong!!

I get 2 Protein shakes, 2 frozen meals like lean cuisine or healthy choice, 2 Snacks and all the fruits and veggies I want for 10 days... Starting the 10th...

Sent from my ADR6330VW using VST

I'm allowed 3 Protein drinks, and 6 servings total out of the following: oatmeal, cream of wheat, 98% fat free or light veggie Soup, sf pudding, sf yogurt, no sugar added applesauce, lettuce/carrots/cucumber/broccoli with 2 tbsp of ff dressing. The serving size is 1/2 cup to a 1 cup. All the clear liquids I want (including sf popsicles, my savior the first few days!)

I'm winding down day 4 and still have 2 Protein Drinks left. I had major tummy issues the first day, but that was an experiment gone wrong. I switched to soy milk months ago after hearing about people's post op issues with lactose intolerance. I bought skim for this week. Bad idea lol I'm back on soy now and all is well. My dizziness and headaches are getting better, although I still feel super scatter brained. Walking around the grocery store tonight made it slightly worse, yet I felt better once I got home. I'm also diabetic so my flailing blood sugars are contributing to my head troubles lol

Yesterday I obsessed about pizza for about 3 hours. I just sat and chomped through about 5 popsicles till it passed. My only "cheat" has been a teaspoon of grated parmesan cheese in some soup. I don't even count that lol Today has been much better. This is doable, as long as you keep your eye on the prize!

My pre op diet consists of product brought from the doctors office.800-900 calories a day, with suggested times and menu. 7 am oatmeal, 9 am hot chocolate, noon cream of mushroom soup, 3 pm peatnut butter bar, 6 pm spaghetti & meatballs, 9 pm BBQ crunch. 64 oz. Of water low cal beverage.

I haven't officially started the preop diet yet. My surgery is on the 21st. I bought all of my stuff yesterday and will be easing myself into it over the next couple of days.

My surgery is on the 21st as well. Second day with my liquid preop diet....13 more days to go. I keep reading in other posts that this gets easier. I sure hope so.

Right here....(lowers head shamefully) I kinda of sort of some what cheated yesterday. Didnt even realize I was eating that damn bagel. Don't recall picking it up or anything. Bad habits are hard to break!!!

My date is Aug 20. My surgeon didn't require any pre-op diet, BUT I decided to start a liquid diet yesterday anyway. I've heard from other patients of my surgeon that he is very strict, and will cancel your surgery if you gain one pound. My original consultation was 9 months ago, and I can't remember what I weighed then, so I'm doing this just to be safe! I'll probably end up under my original weight, since I've already lost 5 lbs in one day and I have 10 more days to go.

I didn't have a diet plan, so I've just been drinking Protein powder mixed with Water, homemade veggie broth, sf Jello, sf popsicles and green tea.
