It gets easier after about 4-5 days. I am on day 10 of 14 of my pre op diet. but if you got unhealthy stuff at home, get rid of it. Its too much temptation lol. and keep busy so you are not thinking about food.

My surgery is May 2nd too! I start clear liquid pre-op diet on Monday. Good luck!

That's awesome... we'll go through it together...I'm excited for us.. hope all goes well

Hi good for you !! I’m just getting blood work etc so mine will be after last dietitian appt June 20. So maybe July. I did a lap band 10 yrs ago and the protein drinks were sold at my Drs. I’m not sure what’s the new thing and what my new Dr will ask for. Good luck you can do this!

Congrats on getting your surgery date. That's a good time of year to have WLS. I happen to enjoy premade protein shakes, I use GNC Lean Shakes, so it was relatively an easy two weeks for me.

I haven't done my pre-op diet yet as my surgery is still two months out, but I enjoy Atkins Milk Chocolate shakes. There are tons of flavors to choose from; just find one that works for you. I know when I first started drinking shakes, they needed to be ice cold for me to enjoy them.
