This forum is so cool. Because as an overweight person you feel so isolated (or at least I do) with my body and image. Yet you know you are not alone but very few people you share these things with. Here there are so many people in the same shoes as us (and many success stories who have been here before us.) This is such a great forum. Yes I too am on a pre op diet. But I am struggling and trying but also trying to get a taste of some of my favorite bad foods before I can not eat them. Sick isn't it. But I am so excited. I know that it also is going to take really hard work and determination. But I am so ready for this opportunity of a tool to help me get there. I wish you the best of luck too. I have some work I have to get done. I am having such trouble focusing on my job because I keep thinking about how much better my life will be this time next year and even this summer. But next summer I feel like look out world I am going to get back to some of the things I really loved doing in my past! Yay!

So exciting! (and a little scared too!)

      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.
