Pre-opt liquid diet

[kad_82 42]

So glad you posted this. I am on day 7 of a 2 week pre-op Protein Shake diet; and am STARVING!! I am beginning to get concerned with my experience after the ByPass.. will I feel like this most of the time? Right now I can eat some lettuce when it gets really bad, but after the procedure solid food will be a long way off.

From my understanding you will not feel starving after the surgery you will be struggling just to get your Protein in right after surgery, let's hope so !

I am on day 2 of my 4 week pre op liquid diet and although I am hungry I am trying to keep my mind busy with things and just trying to remember the goal at hand and stay positive. I am lucky I have a great group of family and friends to help me get thru this. I have to have 5 shakes a day with two meals lunch and dinner so honestly it does not seem that bad to me. I have the mentality that so far I am in the adjustment period of the diet and once I get past that period of the diet things will get easier and more manageable
