So I received a appointment with the Doc for Monday finally. She will schedule my surgery date then, who knows but hopefully very soon. Anyways I just feel miserable right now so went on the liquid diet for my own good. I just hope she doesn't say another month till she has a opening for surgery. I already know a two week liquid diet is required by her so hopefully I can get in soon for the surgery.

Either Or, I just need to hit this liquid diet hard as I am super morbid and need to feel better for my own good.

Good luck on your journey! Try to keep positive, even if the surgery date is not as soon as you would like. It will all be worth the wait! I started my journey in March of this year and my surgery is this Monday. Keep us posted on your progress!

If you are doing the liquid diet, your doctor need to know, and you need to be careful. It is a huge step from your normal routine, and you need to be sure you can be on it long term.

Keep a sharp eye on your heart rate, blood pressure and lightheadedness or foggy thought...again check with your doc.

The plan to be a bit more clear is a week on, see the Doc and hope fully she will have a opening so only another week or two is needed. If not this first week will be a primer say a cleansing that I really need. Say a trial run if the surgery date is to far out. Then back to solids. Believe me this diet is nothing compared to what I have put my body through.

      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.
