I am doing a preop diet. I started it Thursday (kind of) and I've lost 4.5 lbs since then. I am supposed to replace 2 meals with Protein shakes and then the 3rd meal is a lean meat and some green leafy vegetable. I can have 1 cup of fruit. And sugar free Jello and sugar free Popsicles in the mean time. It isn't easy that is for sure, but it also isn't terrible. Yesterday was hard as we went to dinner for any early Father's Day celebration to Outback. Home of my favorite cheese fries. We did not order them. Phew!

Good luck with your diet. Try to stay busy to keep your mind off of the food you won't be having.

Are you nervous

I am not nervous at this particular time. However, I will probably be extremely nervous again in 30 minutes. Haha, I go through phases. Yesterday I was terrified and ready to cancel. Today, I'm a cool cucumber.

Where are you located Linda? I am in Arizona.

      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.
