Banjo, I would love to be your friend and thank you for asking.

Tomorrow I start my preop Protein Meal Replacements. I've written out my food dairy tonight and that's what I'll follow. My doc is a strict on getting in 5 Meal Replacements and at least 48 additional liquids.

I'm pumped and planned to keep my life as low key as possible. I know if I do not follow the docs plan he will not do surgery. That's an insentive and I am so ready to get on with this.

Your day will be coming soon.....I'll keep you posted. Blessings to you, Banjo. Effie

Hey guys, I'm nearing the end of day 2 on my preop diet. I've been baking cookie bars for my church's bake sale and fixed my hubby a nice meal.....did fine with the help of vicks save under my nose. I could not smell the goodies. I think I had an out of body experience when I go look but not smell ! Anyhow it helped me. Might help one of you as well. Nite nite .....Effie

      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.
