So my surgeon's office just told me I have to give them a personal diet history. They were not really explaining what they need. Does anyone have any ideas on what they might need? or what they might be looking for??? This is like one of the last couple of things I need for my surgery.

do they want a copy of your weight loss - what you ate and how much you exercised? I had to do a listing of everything I ate for 3 days and 1 had to be a weekend day. Then there was a 5 page questionnaire - allergies, likes & dislikes, etc. that was all pre-Nut.

My surgeon used my primary care physician's records to document my weight over a two year period along with a questionnaire they gave me listing all the different diets I had tried, the amount lost, and the amount regained.

I'd suggest you call your surgeon's office and ask them if this is something you need to put together yourself, or if they're going to help you with it.

I have to call them back an find out exactly what they want. They really didn't give to much detail over the phone. I know they are waiting for my letters from my dr about my weight and the 6 months worth of check ins. I just don't know if they want a list of all the diets I have ever done or just recently what I have done to try and lose weight.

      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.
