I'm April 11! Started my preop diet today not as bad as thought but I am experiencing headaches but the PA told us yesterday at the preop class that headaches are normal when you eliminate carbs and used to having a good amount daily so hopefully after a few days it will go away ! But I have one day down 13 more to go before surgery !!!

Krissy, are you on Optifast Meal Replacement program? That's what I'm starting on mon. Is it hard to stick to it? Or does it keep you full?

Hola!!! I know I'm a little late responding but I've been drinking the Bariatric Advantage banana and orange cream flavored Protein powder also I bought the premier shakes chocolate flavored from costco for those times I'm on the go . I drink one for Breakfast and lunch then I eat 4oz of Protein and a veggie serving for dinner . It's actually been fairly easy I'm not gonna lie the first two days I was a little hungry but I stayed busy and thereafter it's been fine . Yes they do actually keep me pretty full throughout the day as of today I've already lost 12 lbs :-) and I feel great !!!

      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.
