I hope they are able to get something for you that is better! I know it stinks, just keep pushing through. Dot worry about being a downer (read some of my posts Lol), we are here to support you. I emailed my dietician and told her that all of the food tasted like dog food or chalk Lol. I really hope you can get something that is tolerable. Good luck! You can do it!!

Thanks so much :) I appreciate the support - this is tough - and I feel a little wimpy that I almost caved on the first day. Today I am feeling a bit better - certainly inspired by the fact that I decided to step on the scale and I am down 3.5lbs... what is this pre-op diet - magic or something? LOL

I was given an alternative to the shakes - I am still checking it out to see if available. Chalk mixed with sour milk and instant cake mix is the flavor description that came to me, haha I did enjoy some nice veggies though.

Ok so I was doing great on day 1 and 2 and now im only on day 3 of the pre op diet And its getting rough. I know it's all going to be worth it jn the end.

At my job we have a lot of down time and in the back room everybody pretty much eats non stop! It's tough being around everyone eating when I'm sitting there starving! I just had to come outside and sit alone for minute so I wouldn't go crazy!

I'm so glad I have somewhere I can share my feelings and know you all understand

My surgery is May 6th, and I have lost 16 pounds on this pre-op diet. That is very encouraging and gives me hope for the future!

      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.
