Hey guys, so I am on day 2 of my Preop diet and it is not as bad as I expected. I am allowed to eat one meal a day, 2 shakes and 2 snacks. This definitely doesn't seem as restrictive as some of the other Preop diets I have read about. It is still tough though. I live with my husband and my brother and they can eat whatever they want. My brother ate this big piece of apple pie right next to me last night. It looked really good, but thankfully I didn't even think twice about it. My surgery is right around the corner, so I think the reality is setting in and helping me to stay the course. I wanted this so badly, I can not mess it up now! Are there any other preop dieters experiencing this? Are you guys nervous, excited, doing well on your diet? Hope to hear from some folks. ????

I have migraines anyway so I was worried about the headaches too. But it has been ok.

I am on Day 5 of my all liquid diet. 2 more days to go of Protein shakes. On Monday I have to do all clear liquids with nothing to drink after 11 pm. Surgery is at 11:00 am on Tuesday.

For me, Day 3 was the worst. I had a horrible headache and was exhausted. It has gotten better since then.

Just stick with it. It will all work out in the end for us.

Yes it will.

I'm on the pre-op, but don't start only liquid for another 2 weeks- surgery is in June. I'm definitely nervous and hoping I'm doing the right thing.

I start my preop diet on Monday... R preop shakes per day for 14 days. That's it. Feeling some doubt right now but constantly reading these forums so I can keep my eyes on the end game.

As I contemplate WLS, one of my fears has to do with headaches. I have chronic migraines and am afraid the super low calories will trigger more migraines and cause more headaches.

Hey! If I'm on day 5 of 14 and still going strong, so can you! I'm the girl who loves wine every night and sitting down with papa johns. If I've got this... YOU'VE got this!

So interestingly enough, I've had migraines since I was 6 years old and this didn't even cross my mind before starting the preop diet (or even when considering wls). This may be TMI, but my migraines are triggered by a number of things but I can at least count on one every month with hormonal changes lol. If I were to get a migraine this month it would/should have coincided with day 3 of my preop diet. Shockingly I didn't even realize I didn't have one because I've been so focused on doing well on the diet. When you posted this I realized that this is the ABSOLUTE FIRST month I have NOT had a hormonal migraine. Now, my average cal consumption on the diet has been 700-900 (I promise you thats the lowest amount I have ever willingly consumed lol), and I have yet to have a migraine. I hope this gives you some comfort! And I've said it before and I'll say it again... if you're eating >100mg protein, physically you will most likely NOT feel hungry, mentally you will. You can do it!

Can someone please post a sample of what their liquid diet looked like?? I started today and don't know what to drink! So lost... Surgery in 5 days.

My surgery is June 17th. I have been doing test runs lol so to speak. I have dropped a lot out of my diet for the last month. Bread pasta rice has been gone for about 2 weeks. Focusing in salads proteins and shakes. I have no means perfect but I am doing it in babysteps ..no food funerals for me lol that would just be a disaster. I only have to be on preop for a week it looks like. Good luck everyone here cheering u on

The syntax nectar proteins have literally saved me pre and post op... I'm only suffering from head hunger

have you tried the cherry flavor? I purchased the sample pack and so far they have been really good, but I wanted to try the cherry and my pack didn't come with it. I love all things cherry flavored basically, but I had never heard of cherry protein until I looked at syntax brand. Anyway, I agree syntax flavors are really good and a really nice change when you are sick of the usual chocolate, vanilla or strawberry!!!!

Haven't tried the cherry yet but I do have the trial size of it. So as soon as I try it I will let you know
