Two weeks before surgery! Today is the first day of my protein/liquid diet that's required before surgery. I'm drinking an Opti-fast chocolate Protein shake' date=' and it's soooo NOT yummy!!! Its amazing how everyone seems to have different prerequisites prior to the same surgery... makes me wonder if my two week clear liquid diet prior to surgery is absolutely necessary, lol, because I sure could do without it, lol.

Ive tried the other shakes and while chocolates not that tasty, it still beats the others. Just my opnion.

Just got a follow-up call from the surgery center to see how yesterday was. Then they told me the time of my surgery for Friday changed from 10am to 7am. Wow, think I just had my first feeling of anxiousness about the surgery.

Hello! I like About Time for Protein Shake, good taste, dissolves well in Water. Has more isolate Protein than Unjury and costs a lot less too. Online or through eBay is where I purchase mine. Did lots of research before my surgery last Friday. Now if I can just stop all the annoying burping....Ha!

So I'm having the ultimate fight with my brain. Body: I'm full, comfortable and doing good, brain: stupid you only have two more days left, go have a steak dinner or something. Me: would you both shut the hell up!!!!!! Lawdy me!!!!

And I was glad because you can't eat nothing from the night before at midnight so going in at 7 was a blessing.

      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.
