the office informed to start dieting earlier in the week before my approval came in. the diet was so hard in the beginning! but then when I found out I was actually approved I was like this is a breeze! it could of been that or the fact that it was

my third day and everyone says it gets easier after the third day. lol :)

I have been on this site for since September when I first went to my initial consultation. and Friday was the first day I decided to join in! I'm so excited and hope everything goes well for u!

(sorry if I have typos...doing this on my iPhone and it autocorrect craps) lol

btw the only thing I crave and miss is dr pepper! :(

Well I had a bad headache last night but I got through it. This is going to be interesting as I have to be on the diet for Chistmas parties, a baby shower and Christmas day, but so far I've survived 2 parties w/out cheating. As my mom said "no pain, no loss" lol.

      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.
