I've been thinking a lot about what my doctor and his staff have told me and I have decided there are going to have to be times to make up my own rules/plan as I go along. This is my first lightbulb moment since surgery. So here is the plan:

One of the things I heard from the nurse today at my first visit (since the doctor went out of town) is that I can't have the food I love because Protein is more important. Ok, but i'm a vegetarian, and I wasn't eating protein before because I wasn't finding a lot of ways to get protein. No meat, chicken or fish for me thanks. But if I have Protein powder, and I need to use it anyways, why not put it on the food I love to eat and knock both things out at once? It doesn't always have to be eggs and Gelatin free yogart. So thats my plan. I will eat my good food, and of course watch the calories and carbs ect. while I eat the foods I love.

So thats my plan. I'm sure it doesn't sound the best to a lot of people but it is making sense in my head.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
