Recommended Posts

Anyone else scheduled for Jan. 17 or around there? I start my liquid diet in 3 days. My last meal will be mexican! :) Already had pizza and a big fat juicy cheeseburger earlier this week. While I will miss some foods, I am so ready to lose weight and keep it off!!!

Congratulations! I'm scheduled for Jan15th. I don't start my liquid diet until Jan.1st. How come you have to start so early? I was worried about 2 weeks! I'm trying to wrap my head around how that's gonna go--- I'm worried about blood sugar being low and jst feeling really hungry and grumpy! I teach kindergarten so I'm a little worried for my babies! Lol Hopefully, it won't be too bad!

I have to do three weeks liquid diet because I weigh so much :( But I'm going to do it! I'm hoping it will help me curb my emotional eating...not that I'm a whack job but i eat for the wrong reasons. My plan is to just drink a Protein Shake when i can't imagine i'm going to make it one more minute without something in my stomache. But still get all the shakes in on one day..don't want to deprive myself - ha. You're going to need all the support you can get with all those little ones around - ha! Just remember to breathe before you react :) Let's keep in touch!

I'm scheduled for Jan 9th. My Dr. wants me on a 1500 calorie diet a day for two weeks before surgery. (I guess I got lucky) He told me to lose 5 or 6 lbs before surgery. That starts the day after Christmas! Congrats and lets all keep in touch!

I'm also scheduled for January 17! My surgeon doesn't require a preop liquid diet but I have been trying to lose some weight. I plan on really kicking it up after New Years. Mexican sounds pretty good as a last meal!!!!

Hi. I'm scheduled for surgery on January 2nd and also have to do a pre op diet. Mine started a week ago and I have 1 more week to go. It has been hard when the food is around but I made it through 2 Christmas parties without cheating so I know y'all can do it. Having the high 25-30 grams of Protein daily has been helpful to keeping satisfied. Its keeping all the yummy food out of my mouth that has been hard...but im on day 8 without cheating and feel great because I've already lost 9 pounds. Just hang in there and remember it is all in our minds...

Wow! That's awesome nemeclaud! Keep up the good work! That's very encouraging to me-- let's me know it is "doable"--- I just gotta keep the end result in mind! Let us know how things go with surgery.

      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.
