I am on day 4 out of 5 for liquid diet. I get banned on the 10th. However, I called because the liquid diet is not settling with me right and asked if I could take tums. Now they may cancel my surgery. My surgeon thinks I am sick. This is not the case. I should have never called. I am freaking out right now. Everything that could have gone wrong has for my surgery. I had a hernia and it is a medium one so that is a concern then they thought I had a decificany which could have caused Addison's disease. I don't have it. I will have started the process in march. It has almost been a year.

Also, if you haven't been put on a liquid diet and are doing it I would suggest adding maybe pudding. It will help the stomach.

Sending good thoughts your way! I hope it turns out to be nothing. I know docs want to err on the side of caution, but waiting over a year must make you feel desperate to get something done.

So far so good. I'm sure it will get easier. The diet is very close to the Medifast diet I was on last year so I know what to expect and how to manage it.

Good luck, Mimi! I'm right there with you. It seems to be getting easier the closer I get to surgery, now that its becoming so real.

      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.
