I gave up soda about a month ago!! That was hard.. But now.. not so much... I am on Day 11 Pre-op Diet... My food list consists of: Water, Protein Shakes, Jello, Applesauce and Broth... I sucks!!! Really bad when you are with a bunch of people and you can't eat!!.. Just keep reminding myself just a few days left to go!... But on the bright side... Down 13lbs!!

I'm so jealous!! i really want food!!! But I guess, since I will have nothing solid for 3-4 weeks after, I can understand preparing the body!

Hi karisa

Doing very well, the only pain I am having is like you at the port site. Went for Breakfast with my wife and felt like I could eat which was surprising!! But only had apple juice and coffee, not going to take chances at all!!

      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.
