I am so sorry feels that is an awful feeling. How much is your surgery total? Don't give up girl you will get there.

The insurance person in the doctors office said its $30,000 + with anastesia, surgery and hospital stay....

It's not so bad after the 2nd day...Just keep telling yourself that you control the food and the food does not control you. I am on day 9 of the pre-op.

I think I'll be ok, I've been drinking Premier Protein shakes for 2 meals a day for 4 or 5 days a week for that last few weeks so this shouldn't be much harder.

Tomorrow I start the "Dreaded Two-Week liquid Pre-Op Diet". But I'm ready. I have my Protein drinks' date=' my sugar-free Popsicles and Gelatin and my chicken broth. I mostly have been eating two meals a day like this already. Next week on e 19th is my Pre-Op appointment and then surgery on the 26th.[/quote']

We are real close. I started yesterday with surgery on the 25th. I also did the same with shakes for two meals for a couple of weeks. Yesterday I had a terrible headache in the afternoon but so far today I'm ok. Best of luck.

      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.
