stephwellman, are you freaking out a little about the soft diet before your surgery? I'm hoping I don't screw it up, eating according to a prescribed menu has not been my strong suit.

Yes I was totally freaking but once your stomach and mind get on the right level with each other you'll do fine I'm on day 11 of a 28 day diet and it's all smooth sailing SO FAR.... At least till Monday when I'm on total liquids for 2 weeks on the plus side I've lost 4 pounds since I've started!

I like the Premier Protein they are pretty good! I was getting them from Walmart (4 in a pack $6) but now get them from SAMs Club (12 per box $16.99) I have tried both the powder and the pre made. I take the pre made and a cup of frozen fruit and put it in my bullet blender and its yummy! I hope when I get to my pre op diet I can continue adding the fruit!

      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.
