Ok....so this is something small.... I am in my 2 week liquid diet with my surgery coming up on 7-13-11. My BF brought home a mini snow cone machine today from wally world ($20) with some sugar free snow cone syrup! This has been one of the best days of this pre op diet...lol. It's the small things I guess :)

That is a fabulous contraption to have!!!

When all else fails there is ONE food that never makes me feel like my esophagus is going to explode or nauseous -- sugar free ice pops, ices, etc...

Wow, now I want a snow cone machine!!! How cool is that!

oh, that sounds great!! I can't eat popsicles because i have this thing about the sticks, but a snow cone, that would be perfect. I might have to go to Walmart before Monday when my liquid diet starts.

TRUE LOVE! It is the little things that show support and love! You are very lucky! :)

and by the way....the magic bullet I bought makes shakes WAY too foamy (too much burping) so all it is good for is snowballs....just in case you were thinking of getting one.....the Protein just does not work well with it....

Omg!! This makes my friggin day!! I've been wondering if I could have a snowball! My friend owns a stand, I'm in Louisiana, and she said the flavors were sugar free but it still worried me. And I looooove the spearmint and vanilla Orchid Magic one!

      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.
