Did ur surgeon put u on the 2 week liquid diet? ?? If so how are u doing???

I have a high BMI. Not sure exactly what it is. I started September 4 on a shake and Water only liquid diet...I have had slip ups..but healthy ones (a piece of roasted chicken, small salad). I started at 280 lbs and am now 263 (17 lb loss). The first 3 days are the hardest..after that smooth sailing :)

October 3rd!! I just went for my pre-admission stuff and got my post-op diet today. I get soft foods after 3 weeks and stay on soft foods for 3 weeks. On the first day of week 7 I get real food (which happens to be the day before thanksgiving!)

I had my pre-op appt today too and my surgery also is on 10/3. I hadn't done the math yet so it's good to see when thanksgiving is. What time is your surgery - mine is 11:00 pacific time.

My surgery is at 8:00 am eastern time. I hope to be up and walking and sipping Fluid when it's time for your surgery! We are going to do great!

      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.
