I started drinking Soups like mushroom broth and Tomato Soup but I noticed that they have a high sodium content. Is anybody else doing organic clear or soups with their pre op diet?

Thank you !!!!! I need much encouragement. I have a huge list of comorbidities. I am 48' date=' 5'4" with a wt of 274 . I want to do this I'm tired of being sick and tired. I just don't want to be a repeat failure. One of my girlfriends has Gastric bypass over 1 yr ago and she looks wonderful. I'm tired of being the big girl in the group with the pretty face. Ok enough ranting and raving. :-)

Excellent! Best of luck to you too. What do you have to accomplish between now and then? I have to attend a meeting with the bariatric team (have to miss the second day of school for it!) Meet with the anesthesiologist and meet with my own surgeon again. There may be more but I'm not sure yet. Did the egd a few weeks ago.

Thanks. I have a pre op nutrition class 9/4, pre op testing and admission to hospital 9/17. I will ask about the edg but I think they will do it while I'm out.

      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.
