I was banded on 12/30/10 and I had to do a 2 week pre op liquid only diet, too. Yes, it is and was very hard and you are so right....it's worth it, and so are you!You can do it!! Look how far you've come already!

Keep your eye on the prize and how much better you are going to feel. I can't believe the changes I feel inside and outside!

Good luck with your surgery next week, you'll do great!

Tyler I definitely understand! I'm on day 3 of the liquid diet and it's a struggle. My boyfriend was just talking to me about his dinner plans and I really wanted some of whatever he's gonna eat, but this journey is so much more important than that food. Just think soon we can eat almost anything we want just in moderation! You didn't give up your chinese food forever, just for right now!

      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.
