I am also on 1/17. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I went out to a Brazilian Steakhouse the other night for a last hoorah and wasted my money and time. I was not interested in eating anything. I've become so used to drinking Protein Shakes for the past couple of months that I had no interest in eating any of the meats that I used to enjoy. I am on my prediet now which only consists of Protein shakes for Breakfast and lunch and then s amall piece of meat and steamed veggies for dinner. No breads allowed. How is your preop diet going?

I will be banded on the 11th. I cant wait to get this started. I've been starving since I've been on the Protein thing for a week. I've only slipped a few times but It's very hard not to eat all day just dinner.< /p>

I am on day 5 of my 14 day pre-op diet (the first 3 days were the hardest so far). It consist of 1 Protein Shake for breakfast, 1 for lunch, and 1 serving of any Soup I want that does not have cream in it. Needless to say I am STARVING! I decided to make my own Soups so I could monitor the calories and carbs better. This allows me to make alterations to have a larger portion of soup, and still stay within the quidlines. I have also become something of a Protein shake Connoisseur. I have tried 4 different brands and flavors so far and just picked up 5 more tonight, to try out through the week. I really wish I had taste tested them before the pre-op began. I think because I have an empty stomach most of the time,I am more sensetive to the tase and it hits pretty hard in my stomach

      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.
