I honestly feel like it has to be better than this! At least there will be hope that you will be slowing professing to solids again.

Were u ladies allowed any veggies as Snacks? My nutrition allows two cups of vegetables per day as a snack. That has been my only relieve. I miss chewing so much!

I am scheduled for surgery on 3/28 I just had my pre-op appt this past Friday and my surgeon didn't say anything about a pre-op diet so I started freaking out a little. I have been looking up diets and all so I guess I am going to start trying to be very careful this last week. I have been trying to get my eating habits in check last month.

I will only have to do a 1 week High Protein liquid diet. From all that I've heard, it sounds like it's going to really suck. Hang in there and remember this is something you're going to look back on and say "yep, I did it!"

I won't lie, the first 3-4 days are brutal. Believe it or not it will get easier after that.

I'm a week and a day in. It has definitely gotten easier. But I have made it a point to stay away from others as they eat b/c just the aromas alone make it unbearable. For anyone just going into their liquid diet believe it does get easier. My doctor says its so the procedure goes more smoothly as the liver will shrink, but I really think its to give us a handle on what we are to expect after we've been banding. It must be a thousand times harder to go from full meals to absolutely 'nothing' once u've been banded, w/o this preparation.

Ok so they idea is to starve us before the schedule or thin out the ones who really don't want to do? I'm on day 2 and I'm starving and have no energy.

Yeah, pretty much! Lol It'll get better stick with it. After a few days u really do get used to it. I was miserable in the beginning. Also had no energy, did not want to be bothered, was pretty short with everyone around me...Lol N there are some moments throughout the day when I have to remind myself one day down, is one day closer!

      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.
