Scheduled 5-21-15 so only a few more days. I have lost between 16-18 pounds since the 14th. Its gotten to where I can't stand vegetables and water (diet soda, flavored water, etc) is unappealing. I don't want to eat or drink anything. Is this normal? I have never been this long without eating (more than I should) so I am in new territory. Thanks

Sorry started diet on the 7th

I did the pre-op diet for 2 weeks and yes by a certain point I had to make myself eat and drink. I had to do Protein shakes, sf pudding, light yogurt, Gatorade and Water. Not much variety there and everything was sweet. Maybe try spicing things differently for variety? I couldn't wait to get to the surgery date for it to be over but now I am on a week of 3 Protein Shakes a day and sf popsicles...lol Just keep your eyes on the prize and enjoy the weight you are losing as a by product of the pre-op diet...they are pounds that you are ahead of the game for after surgery. Good luck and hang in there!!

My diet is Water, diet soda, broth, two cups steamed or raw vegtables, sugar free Jello. I asked and was told I can have a small amount of grilled chicken breast so yesterday I splurged and had a half a can of white chicken, teaspoon of mayo and about 4 chopped pickles. I had to have something to eat or I would not have made it much further. I see lots of people saying they did not have to start a diet until two days befor and others two weeks before. I am glad of the weight that has dropped off, if only it could have happened while I was eating my favorite pizza!!

I am 10 day's post op and I did not do the pre op liquid diet. My surgeon required it but I did not follow through, and shockingly enough she said my liver was super tiny. When in fact I started eating more then ever before during those two weeks before the surgery. I guess everyone is different and I lucked out. But I wish I did because I would have lost way more by now. I have only lost 22 pounds. So don't give up you're ahead of the game!!!

I'm on high protein low carbs and green veggies for 5 weeks then 2 weeks of protein shakes and greens. I'm sick of greens!
