As the title suggests, I am having to do a liquid pre-op diet for 3 weeks, I’m getting sleeved 6/9. My diet started on Tuesday, 5/19 and it’s now Friday, 5/22 and I am HUNGRY!

I haven’t been hungry like this any other day. My stomach is rumbling and even though I can have broth and sugar free jello / popsicles, it’s not helping the hunger.

My diet is as follows: 3 protein shakes, 2 protein bars as snacks + unlimited low sodium broth, SF hello, SF popsicles.

Any tips or words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated. My tummy would appreciate it i’m sure!

We are having are surgery on the same date..im curious about your anxiety level?

I started my all liquid diet on 5/25, I really think it’s getting better, I think I will get some sugar free gum! I know not supposed to have post surgery! I do drink a lot of decaf tea and green tea.

@sweetsmith78 yay! Surgery twins! I’m just ready for it to be here! How are you?

@Glen1 how many days do you have to do your liquid diet?

Mine was really bad. I started to have second thoughts about getting the surgery. I sat in the hospital parking lot for 10 minutes or more. I dont regret going through with it. It was a great decision.

My liquid diet was only a week, thankfully, and I’m on Day 6. I want to chew something but I’m not hungry per se. I’ve been up a few hours already and have yet to drink my first shake (need to get on it!) Day 3 and 4 were by far the hardest.
