My surgery is also May 2nd and my preop diet is two weeks...which means I am HUNGRY hahaha. I have read that some of the diets are different, mine is all liquid. How is everyone else's preop diet?

I have been on a liquid only diet since Monday. For me, it isn't super great but I am not really hungry, just more so miss solid food. I will never take a chicken breast for granted again. Lol and I am dreaming about food, the other night I dreamed I kept eating food and spitting it out after I realized I am not supposed to be eating it. My pre-op is this Monday and then surgery the Monday after that, so looking forward to starting a new chapter in my life!

Sounds like we are having it the same day. My stomach growled LOUDLY for about 3 days when I started the liquid diet. I am having more trouble controlling my blood sugars than anything else, not used to them dropping so low. It's important to not accidentally skip a Protein shake...my bad I love your dream! It's almost 2am here, I woke up dreaming about food, it was a strange dream but pretty funny.

I started mine last Monday. I think it gets easier as you go but make sure you drink all of your Protein because it helps to make you feel full, besides it being healthy. Good luck! Maybe when we are going crazy with wanting "real food" we could check in here instead of being tempted.

Priscilla,

I only have Clear liquids the day before surgery. I consider myself very lucky, I feel for everyone on the two weeks or more. When is your surgery scheduled?? Mine is May 6th.

My stomach stopped growling at about day 3, but I am sure noticing all the commercials for restaurants and I am smelling food from blocks away...I guess you always want what you can't have haha.

I'm halfway! One week down, one week to go... Never thought the one stock cube I can have daily would be the highlight but damn after drinking milk all day I can't wait for it!

Well my doctor's office has a very specific (and helpful) education series and when you are approximately four weeks from surgery, they start you on Optifast on a Saturday (so that everyone is getting the information at the right times. I am grouped with about 5 other women) So whenever your surgery falls from then is how long the diet is but it is supposed to be about 4 weeks. I think they do it that way to make sure that everyone gets all the info they need. I'm fine with it. I will do whatever it takes to get this surgery at this point!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞
