Hello everybody! My name is Stacey, and I'm 19 years old attending FSU. About a week ago I got the all-clear for surgery and it's scheduled for the 6th!! That means today is day one of the liver shrinking diet (1200 calories and 65 grams of protein/day) and I have to say my stomach is not too thrilled thus far. Mentally I'm good to go though, and I'm so ready for this change. Anyway, I just thought I would introduce myself before I go sifting through the infinite posts on the site :) Hope you all have a lovely day!

Oh gosh, I totally agree! She is such a sweetheart! I've already texted her a few times with silly questions and she's always real quick to reply, no matter what time. :)

      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.
