Awww Charda shake (no pun intended) it off hon. Its going to be ok. You just change it now. The preop diet is for the most part to not lose weight but to shrink that liver down. Just look at it as one step to getting closer to the band we all need...

We all make mistakes, so try to move on and not ruminate about it.

The additional scoop of Protein will likely help produce a weight loss on your scales. And as Deb wrote, most importantly, you are one step closer to getting your band! :)

I didn't lose that much before my surgery, 9 lbs I think. I have lost a lot since the surgery 6 days ago, 15 lbs total. Don't worry about the mistake, we are sure to make a lot of them as we go through this process.

      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.
