June 23rd for me too!!! Yay!! Congrats!!!! :) Happy dance from me to you!!!

I started my preop diet 3 days ago and I am sooo hungry!!! I have 4 tiny Protein Shakes a day and about 3 oz. of tuna or something like it for dinner. In between, I have sugar free Jello. I'm going nuts! I'm standing here cooking supper for my family right now and am feeling very emotional because to be honest with you, I could eat dirt right now!!! Lol Anything with texture would be good.

The good thing is that I've lost 6 lbs. as of this morning...6 lbs. In 2 days....hummm...I want to be excited about it but my tummy says FEED ME!! lol

Let me know how you're doing as you go through all of this. This is an exciting time for all of us June sleevers.

I'm curious about your Protein bars...how much protien/carbs/sugar/fiber/fat is in them? How many calories are you limited to? I have to get down 15 lbs. But had already lost 5 before my diet started. The doc did say the more I lost the faster the surgery and recovery would go...that's why I'm keeping on...sigh.

      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.
