Hello Brent my name is Taryn and Im in Perth, Australia. Your story and the rest of us i think are the same. I decided to something aswell as I have been trying to have a baby and losing weight will definately help to be healthier through pregnancy and with a little one. I was due to have my surgery on the 31st Oct but 3 days before I found out I was pregnant, yay.....but our delight was short lived as I miss carried a month later so i went back to my surgoen and he got me on Monday so Im right with you love, 4 days in and going well. Im not hungry at all tho.

Get some Soup if you are a hungry as it will fill you very quickly. You will be fine and hang in there with the liquids over the next few days.

      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.
