I'm on day 7 of the pre-op liquid diet. My surgery is April 1. The first two days were the worst. Now I just try to take comfort in the convenience of just grabbing a protein shake or sugar free jello and moving on to do something else.

Tdy is the first day of my 3 week pre op liquid diet . as I sit a few feet away from the fridge typing this the only thing I can think of is food . thts how I got this way after all hehe . but il try to be strong . and walk away from the fridge ..

I'm just ready to have the sleeve done! I know once that's done I won't be as tempted as I am now. I'll have more discipline

In most cases, the pre-op diet is used mainly to 'shrink the liver'...

In my case, if the liver hadn't shrunk enough, the surgery wouldn't have gone ahead...

So if you're 'serious' about having the surgery, then yeah, the pre-op diet is probably something you should pay some heed to...

I think that if you are on the 45gm carb diet prior to the liquid diet it's easier to do liquids since your stomach isn't growling as much. That's what I am hoping for

Is the pre-op liquid diet weight dependent? Curious because I only had to do liquids the day before surgery with nothing after midnight.

Hi All,

I'm on day 13 of my two week pre-op liquid diet. This is truly mind over matter. I thought ny first week would be more difficult but my second week was harder. My liquid diet consisted of 4-5 Protein shakes, one cup of beoth, and unlimited sugar free Jello and Popsicles. I made the mistake of working out so make sure you have enough energy before trying. Keep your focus on the end surprise. Don't cheat this helps you post-op! Sunday will be night before I'm not to have anything but Water after 6pm and nothing after 10pm. Surgery set for 845am. Good luck to us all and kudos for all post-op and speedy recoveries!

I'm on day three of a one week liquid diet. I don't particularly like it but I just keep telling myself that I can do anything for a week. Last night I had a dream that I kept cheating on the liquid diet and woke up this morning and had this terrible feeling that I had really not followed the diet. But I have and am so excited I only have five more days! My kids are on spring break this week which makes it a little more challenging as we are all together and out doing things. Oh yeah and Easter candy that will arrive tomorrow and my daughters birthday party today.....like someone else said, mind over matter. You just have to tell yourself you can!!! Believe it, this is the first step to the rest of our lives.
