Day 2 went well and i actually got some rest last night.

Today is day 3 and my stomach is confused! it's making all sorts of sounds. LOL I had a Protein shake for Breakfast and I've been sipping on Isopure. I'm finding it hard to focus without food.

For me day 2-3 was the hardest. I made it though and it's a lot simpler now. I realized during this process I am a compulsive eater, and I now can control it because of this pre op diet. When my husband and I go to dinner or lunch I make better choices. Today makes 2 weeks I'm on pre op. I know I lost some lbs I can feel it Patiently waiting for my banding day! Hang in there you can do it

I'm also really loving it, kbush - for sure sometimes i'm a little grumpy and i really can't stand to have aromatic food around me (my husband has taken to eating most of his meals out of the house) but i feel so much more in control right now, and a lot of my old cravings are gone. i just feel on-fire with this all being the right decision for me.

My husband told me not to cook anymore because the food i cook is nasty...LOL! i'm WAS so used to tasting everything i cooked but now im not. So, Im guessing it does taste a little different.

That is too funny ! I'm recovering at my moms and she made this taco salad and I just went to the back of the house. My mother in law is in town so she's filling the fridge up with food for my husband . Thanks mom!

I would start tomorrow, rather than today. One day will not make a difference, I cheated on my preop and did fine.

I am 6:30am in thurs too!

Meanwhile my husband just committed the ultimate atrocity. He brought McDonalds home and then fell asleep so there was a quarter pounder in my living room. There was 4 seconds when I thought "I'm just gonna have it" but insist give in. And I didn't want it sitting somewhere teasing me, and since I'm so mad he brought it home I gave it to the dog. Serves him right.

      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.
