I don't know why I feel hungry . I'm on day 5. Of two week preop diet . I get two shakes. A Protein bar, and a meal consisting of four oz protein , 3 cups veggies , two fats. Not sure why I'm struggling but I'm hungry and tired. Also not sure why I'm also getting headaches at night and is never get headaches. Anyone else struggling ? .

I can't even have that. I can only have Optifast 800 shakes and 2-3 Jello and 1 4oz can of broth.

Thats intense ....What about liquids?

It probably depends on the person, on possible health issues, what the surgeon feels comfortable with, and likely dietitian too.

No doubt Water is likely included.

I'm not yet on my 2 weeks pre-op diet, but my menu for those 2weeks will be 4 shakes 4 times a day.. Not more than 60g of protein per day for 14 days.... I have to admit it sounds scary.. Especially The I don't like shakes part.... Water is allowed. To be continued..... I'm in NB Canada

My surgery is on 3/14... I am one two shakes a day and one meal.. I started last week I'm on day 6.. first day was terrible lol i had a huge migraine.. but I managed.. i lost 7 pounds

So this is Breakfast lunch and dinner post op.
Chicken Broth
Jello
Gatorade
Fresh Squeezed Apple Juice.
Water
You can have all of these on the Pre-op. Clear Liquid phase as well.

I am on day 11 of full liquids only. I am down 16 pounds and scheduled for surgery Thursday, March 2nd.
The first 6 days were actually easier for me. Now I am hungry it feels like constant. I think it's also my nerves as I get closer and I am used to eating when I feel like this.

Best of luck! You got this.
