I was only getn between 450-500 calories i was informed I should be at 1000 calories a day... today I did 600 & something. I dont see me being able to get 1000 calories off Soups, Water and 100 calorie Protein Shakes.< /p>

Surgery was totally worth it! 3 months post op and nearly down 40lbs. Slower than they want but i dont care.

Let me know if i can answer any questions for you. I was addicted to this app before surgery

Congrats! That's 3 of us now having surgery on May 1st. Pre op diet sucks, but I have been dropping weight so I can't complain. When do you start your pre op diet? I have to do two weeks pre op diet.

I know how you feel. I already have an anxiety disorder and thinking about all this makes it worse. I can say that the liquid diet has gotten easier. I use to see food commercials and practically drool. Now it's like that looks good, but I know I can't have that.

      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.
