This is only day one so I am doing my best. Hopefully once I'm off work it will get a tad better.

Well I had a Protein Shake for breakfast- one for lunch- 2 pieces of sugar free gum but by the time I got home from work I felt extremely sick. So I did have half a piece of grilled chicken breast and 1/2 cup of steamed broccoli. I'm trying not to beat myself up too bad. This is a Huge improvement to what I previously would have done!!! I also got some Water in but not nearly enough. Hoping tomorrow will be better:)

Minimi is right. The first week is tough. Feeling weak and just off in general. I'm just starting week two and things are much better. A bit more hungry, but feeling much better, normal I guess. I suppose it takes time for the body to adjust.

Part of my pre-op diet is sugar free Jello. It's been a lifesaver for me! End of day 8 of pre-op diet. Making meals for kids and family is the hardest thing for me.

Today was my only day on Clear Liquids for pre op - then a week following. I was good until now - I'm starving , but I'm going to sleep. I hope - 10 hours until I'm banded! PSYCHE!!!

I'm here at Morristown Medical Center, and ready to take my leap of faith to my new life. I'm feeling good, even being on clear liquids, I'm feeling good. I'm proud of myself for making this decision, and I'm finally doing something for me! To all you sabotage 'ers out there :you can't get me no more! Everyone going in today- good luck .. And smile at your surgeon :)

so i had my Protein shake for breakfast. give me some ideas i can order at work for lunch. we have a del. am i allowed do chicken? or a salad?

Follow your dr ordered pre-op diet. Everyone has a different diet. Could you bring something from home that follows your specific diet?

The biggest part of success is being prepared. As soon as you are not ahead of the game you will be faced with food choices that will not be the best for success. This is true during preop as much as it is through the whole journey.

My surgery is this Thursday.

I was not required by my Dr. to do a pre-op surgery but I did/doing one anyways...smh

Im nervous and HUNGRY..lol but I think I am hungry because I am use to eating entirely more than what I am eating at this moment. I know my stomach says its full, but my brain is not quite catching it.

I have been drinking a lot of Water too!!

Good Luck everyone!

      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.
