It seems this day has crept up on me. One day Im thinking, wow May 1st is a few weeks away and now here i am today thinking, Ok! tomorrow is the very beginning. Im hoping and praying that I do well on this liquid diet. Im not sure what to think at this moment. Im just trying to keep a positive mindset. I want this and I want it to be right. I dont want to fail. My biggest problem right now is finding a Protein shake that will help me feel full and that will taste great. Im headed to the store this evening to pick up my items.

Im excited and nervous at the same time. this feels weird. I havent been this emotional since I gave birth to my two children.

Keep me in prayer.And to all the May bandsters, good luck with everything. I'll be posting in my blog. The support is needed greatly. Please stop by. Thanks for allowing me to vent.

Thank you all :) I was in the store and I was actually about to cry. I don't know why but I was. I'll probably be on here more than I usually do, venting and being a cry baby about so bare with my LBT family.

I just started my liquid diet today.. last week was a 800 calorie diet, I bought vanilla whey Protein from GNC, mixed it this morning with half frozen banana 4 oz skim milk and 4 oz Water and some ice and it was good!! I used the blender and it thick like a shake. Had a little broth today also...trying to watch the sodium in that its really high...tried the propel and Vitamin Water also not a big fan..tomorrow i'll try to mix it up with sugar free juice...but i've tried to google different Protein shakes and there are a lot out there just try to find what you like : )

      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.
