Pre-Op is going, today was hard being with the family for the 4th of July BBQ and not really eating what I'd like to, of course...but I survived, so that's good! Wow, 5 shakes that's a lot. I have to do 1 shake for Breakfast, 1 for lunch and a lean cuisine or equivalent for dinner, 1 snack that can be another shake but I got popcorn/cheese stick/yogurt to mix it up. I need to go buy some unflavored Protein to add more to stuff. Not sure I could do Only shakes, I might go more nuts then I already am, lol..you're lucky you're not hungry, I'm waiting for that phase, lol. Keep me updated! Best of luck!

      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.
