I'm going thru dr. Goldstein in voorhees. I went to one of his seminars and made an appt with him the same day....he seems great. And Ali my preop is only 24 hours clear liquid the day before. I'm so thankful for that. But I weighed in today and he wants me to lose more in the next two weeks or so before surgery.

I've been doing the pre surgery diet and yesterday was ok. This morning I've been craving food sooooo much! My only worry is the Protein shakes I got only give me 500 calories a day so I know I need to make up 500 somewhere. I have read people eating eggs on the diet. So maybe I can just make up for it by eating a few eggs here and there.

I agree best gift ever! Just can't wait I'm so anxious!

      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.
