Hi,

Eat your last meal!! Just kidding. My Dr. had me do a modified adkins for 2 weeks before the surgery to shrink my liver. I've read that different Dr.s suggest different things.

Just stock up on Soups, crystal light or some fruit juice, and continue to be as active as you can before and after the surgery---you'll feel better faster.

Good luck and here's to everything going great!!

Why would you think that you're being selfish?? You're going to live and be happy. Yes, it will benefit you, but isn't part of your reasoning that you can have a better quality of life with your family? Won't they all reap the benefits of this surgery, as well? I'm so excited for you!!!

      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.
