Eeeep! I'm starting it tomorrow. I started on Monday and today to have full liquids until dinner but had a light dinner for those 2 nights. I made a nice summer squash Soup that I pureed and strained for me to have for lunches and whatnot throughout the week. Maybe dinners, too. There's a lot of it. I have lots of Protein Shakes and drinks and feel fairly prepared. But I am starting to get nervous. I only am required to do this diet for a week pre-op so a week from tomorrow is my surgery. I am worried about what to eat during this week. I know what is considered a "full" liquid but it's just a matter of thinking up things to make without having to go back out to the store.

Cottage cheese. sugar free Jello. broth light yogurt. Tomatoe or v8 juice not v8 fruit juice tho. sugar free pop cycles.

This is on my diet I'm 2 days out now. 7 more to go. It is hard. The hardest thing I have done. Just stick with it. Ignore ur head s head games. We can do it together. If u want? I need a buddy in this.

Isn't it awesome? I am 11 days after surgery now and losing roughly 2.5 lbs a day. Had a few days where I didn't lose anything but it's been averaging 2.5 a day otherwise. So far.

      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.
