Im on the 26th as well..on my prepot diet..so hungry but im going to push through this. Do you find it easier to have your small meal for lunch or dinner?

Some people are not allowed to have a small meal, some docs don't even require a pre-op diet, some require a few days or a week, everyone is different..I on the other hand am allowed a small meal, I choose to have my dinner meal, because I don't eat lunch, because I'm sleeping during the day cause I work nights, so as soon as I wake up, I eat a small meal, then around 10pm I have my last shake. But also I'm allowed unlimited veggies, FF broth, and sugar free Jello..so it hasn't been bad at all, I'm on day 7 of my 2 week diet

Day 10 of my liquid diet. I'm kind of used to it right now. Down 12lbs. and including today have 5 more days before my surgery on the 24th. I find that in the morning I add 2 espresso shots and ice cubes to my vanilla shake so that it's like an iced coffee (my Dr. gave me this tip). That's my favourite shake of the day.

Good luck to anyone getting banded tomorrow. I'm scheduled for Wednesday April 24th and I can't wait. I have my heating pad, liquid Tylenol, chewable Gravol & Gas X. Lost 12lbs on the shake diet over the past 10 days. Anyways, good luck to the remaining April bandsters!

      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.
