I have no medical issues only thyroid. That's so weird that I need all these tests done. I wonder why?

I plan a procedure at True Results also. December 6. Think it will be good to do it before the end of the year. .

Wow! Can't believe they are starting the diet before a date. December 2 would be wonderful! I am penciled in for Dec 27th pending insurance approval. I hope to hear something this week. Is your diet all liquids or can you have some solid food as well?

I do have my approval. Lucky for me, the whole process was really fast and easy. I will be on an all liquid diet starting a week before.

I believe my doctor does a two week liquid diet. That is actually the thing I am most nervous about. They said once they get the final approval from my insurance, I will have to come in for all my dietary instructions.

I'm to have 1-2 Protein Shakes a day and 1-2 lean meals a day. No fats. I can have green veggies and 1 cup of fruit. No carrots or bananas. I was shocked. I was expecting an all liquid diet. I got this!!

Wow! That's great! Sounds much easier than all liquid. My understanding is the liquid diet is to shrink fat around the liver. Strangely enough I was just diagnosed last week with a fatty liver, so I'm sure the 2 week liquid diet is in my future.

      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.
