Wow this thread is pretty crazy. I totally get the point of those giving some tough love to the OP. It is true that if you are having a tough time with the pre-op diet it will be even tougher post-op. Peole arent being mean, just realistic. However I dont agree with those putting others down to make the OP feel better. There are other ways to go about it.

A lot of tough love in this forum... but do try to take it all in and figure out what's gonna be best for you going forward.

If you're having serious issues with self-control, I'd be very worried about your post-op life. On the one hand, restriction WILL help you from over-eating, at least... but it won't stop you from eating entirely, and it won't stop you from eating the wrong things.

Best of luck in your journey. I hope you succeed!

Pre op is not easy. I did 14 days of all liquid. I didn't cheat, not even once but it took a huge amount of willpower! You only have a couple days so your pre-op is essentially over. For anyone else about to go through this just remember why your doing it, set goals, Stay motivated and take a pic in your underwear to look at when you feel like you want to cheat! I'm serious it works!

Some words of encouragement: I cheated the first couple of days too but once that surgery happened I lost all desire to "cheat." Pain is a great motivator for me.

I am doing just fine at 7.5 months out. Take each day at a time, be honest with doc and most of all do not stress! Good luck!

I'm so grateful that my surgeon did not put me on a 2 week liquid diet. I know I would have cheated. Mine was a low carb diet that also forbid pork products.

My pre op diet includes 4 eight ounce Protein Shakes per day (at least two made with skim milk)

and then AT LEAST 6 servings from the following:

1/2 cup grits, oatmeal or cream of wheat

8 ounces vegetable juice

3 ounces of grilled steamed or poached chicken, fish or egg whites

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

5-6 ounces greek yogurt, LF such as dannon light & fit greek (my favorite and only 80 cal)

1 cup raw veg/lettuces, FF dressing

SF Jello or ice pops

and of course the obligatory 64 ounces of fluids

My surgeon requires BMI's under 45 to do this for 1 week pre op. BMI's over 45 do it for 2 weeks.

14 days of just liquids, wow that would be so hard for me with the "hungry girl" tummy I currently have!!

I just started my diet today but have been really "winding down" for weeks now. I can do my pre op NP but I really feel for those who are on the much stricter pre op!!! Warm HUGGGGS and YOU CAN DO IT!!

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
