I could seriously hurt someone... I've screamed at my son all afternoon. I have never been this irritable. I want food and I want it right freakin now. Doesn't have to be anything sugar laden or fattening; just something to feel my tummy. My head hurts, I'm on the verge of tears and could really lash out at everyone. Now I have to go to my son's school - and they're eating - food. And smiling... And will probably expect me to smile a well. And if I hear one more person tell me "it'll be worth it", I may stab them with a fork. I am miserable.

My Pre op is 10 days. My fear if I don't complete it - they'll get in there and see food that wasn't on the diet and say "cancel"! I'm fortunate in that mine is not all liquids. I need for these next several days to pass by quickly. :(

Sigh.... Why are doctors all so different?? Why do some only have a few days? Or all liquids? I feel guilty for complaining. :'(

I feel like I'm going to die of mal nutrition before I get to surgery! I seriously don't feel like I'm getting the things I need. I'm beginning to be an emotional wreck just two days in. :blink:

I've been using Premier Protein and LOOOVEE it! I just ran out yesterday and tried the Body Fortress I heard about on here from Walmart but eh! I didn't like it. Have to go stock up on some more Premier Protein. I bought mine at Sams Club but they sell them at costco too.

      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.
