I feel your pain k@t. I am on day 5 of low carbs and it is killing me. I have lost about 5 pounds though! I'm pretty lucky that my doc didn't require a liquid diest preop.... I would have died!

I felt like I was dying last night my stomach wouldn't stop hurting. I'm feeling a bit better this morning after a Protein Shake and a yogurt. I'm going to make sure to fill up on veggie Soup this afternoon and again for dinner. I think the chicken soup was ruining it.

Keep at it K@t...it does make a difference.

I lost 16 lbs during my two week pre-op diet and the dr said my liver was excellent and it made the surgery much easier to do. Just keep thinking of the light at the end of the tunnel.

Keep at it!! Honestly, if I can do it, anyone can!!

I was banded on April 4, 2006, and I was on pre-op for two weeks and it was very rough. To be quite honest I had to cheat a little because I felt faintish. Though my cheat was a very small portion of Alaskan Crab legs without any butter or cocktail sauce it made me feel much better and removed the jitters. I am not encouraging you to do this but that is my song and dance. As it turned out my surgeon said my liver was so well prepared for the surgery and it went exceptionally well. I'm excited for you, please keep up posted after you have been all banded up.:party:

      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.
