Keep it simple and stay busy. Your surgeon should be giving you a list of what you can have. Good luck!

I was sleeved 10/21 and so far the liquid preop was the worst part lol. The first 3 days are rough but once u pass the withdrawal headache you will be fine. I was so scared to fail but just take it one shake at a time ...good luck to u guys ..it's worth it!

Most people do but my surgeon didn't allow those till the night before surgery since I was told only breakfast and lunch shake that day then clear till midnight. Unlike most I was allowed full liquids as soon as I got home and pureed food starting day 8.

Pre-op diets can vary significantly. Follow your program and stick with it. Not only is this to help prepare your body for a safer surgery - but it also helps to prepare your mind for post-op. Learn to deal with the head hunger and cravings now - it will make post-op easier. Take it one day (or even one hour) at a time. Have things you can have handy at all times. Don't go too long without having something - or you'll be more apt to grab something easy and off plan. Most can have broth - I suggest making your own or at least flavoring boxed/canned broth (boil with onions, celery, carrots, garlic, salt & pepper, paprika, etc). Find distractions if you are having cravings - go for a walk, clean closets, read, etc. If you are hungry - have something on plan. Stay strong - it's worth it in the long run to stick with the pre-op diet.
