Ugh, only day 2 of liquids and I'm hungry. How/what did u drink/eat in your liquid diet and did it keep u content?

WOW.. Im actually surprised your hungary.. Jello was my big thing the first few days.. WALK WALK WALK and REST REST REST>>> That may help you pass the time. Its odd though I was never ever hungary and still 7 to 8 months later never have the feeling of hunger. They say that goes with the Gastric Sleeve. Just saying what i was told by several people.

I am on the liquid pre op diet as well. 5th day for me I have a shake every 4 hours. I am so hungry.. today I am dizzy not sure if it has anything to do with it or not.

I understand how you feel

I'm on day 5 too, (only one more day as Friday I start my Clear Liquids for my 3-day final prep for surgery on Monday). I've been drinking the Premier Protein shakes for Breakfast, lunch, and a mid-day snack. I'm lucky in that I get to have a lean meat with a salad for dinner each night though, but that doesn't really help much during the day, haha.

I've drank an extra shake on the days it's tough, as well as trying to make sure I get lots of Water in. The only downside I've experienced is that I may be getting "keto breath", though I thought that took longer than just 5 days. Nasty yucky after-taste and odor than I can 'feel' on my breath.

Semi-related - Post-Op, do you keep the 'keto breath', since you're still pretty much still on an all protein diet? If so, I foresee needing to buy some mouthwash to carry around with me.

I haven't been sleeved yet, I'm hungry in the liquid pre op diet

Yep, I was on my preop for 16 days. I was starved for the first 3 days (not to mention the headaches) and then very hungry the rest of the time. You will not be able to fill up on shakes...the liquid just passes through too quickly. You may check with your nut to see if anything else is allowed (green veggies, lean protein) But it is a very short time and small discomfort when compared to the rest of your life. Just suck it up and soon your preop diet will be a distant memory.

I feel your pain. I am on day 8 of my liquid diet. I try to keep myself busy to get my mind off of my hunger pains. If I can get over these headaches I will be find. Good luck with your weight loss journey. Much success.

Tuwood,

Much success to you as well

I will be starting my pre-op diet (10 days) on Saturday. However, in addition to the Protein shakes and crystal lite, etc. I am allowed a lean protein and a serving of vegetables every day until the 24 hours before surgery. I don't know how I will do. I am definitely worried about shakes, dizziness and that hypoglycemic feeling I can get when I don't eat enough. I have to be able to function at work!

I appreciate the post-op people saying it is worth it. Good luck, you are not alone!

My first two days was rough. I had headaches so bad. On day 3 it gets better. I have a good support system my husband is changing his diet and my boys we are trying to keep them eating heathy. Now it's been tough I almost slipped up I work in a hospital and sometimes different reps will bring breakfast or lunch for us and I can't have anything so I just eat at my desk. I have to keep praying and telling my self it will be so worth it in the end.

I have been on my pre op diet since dec, 30th! Only allowed 5 Opti shakes and one opti fast bar...nothing else?

, no broth, no veggies no jello, na da! February. 3 rd can't get here fast enough! You do get use to that hunger feelings! good Luck!

Morgan, we have the same surgery date! Good luck

Im on day one....starving ; (

Morgan, we have the same surgery date! Good luck

Hi I'm on day 6. I have been hungry but I get one lean meal a day. Although I haven't had over 700 calories a day . Yesterday i was exhausted. My surgery date 2/3 also!!

Lots of protein and tons of water, I'm drinking a gallon a day and that has helped with being hungry

Hi I am on my 4th day liquids and drinking lot's of Water, crystal light, Protein drinks, beef or chicken broth, popsicles, Jello and I have to agree with you all, it's truly a challenge. My surgery will be a week from today and the day prior to surgery will be strictly clear fluids. I want to chew so I end up chewing gum. At least after surgery I can graduate to cream Soups.
