Truth is, I feel like punching everyone in the face...ok not everyone, just people who are eating yummy food. Wish I could sleep until the day of surgery!

You have to get it in your head that, all that tasty yummy food is what got you to this point. Sure i would Love a giant dr pepper, and taco bell, pizza hut, and more, but I also know those are the enemy that got me to the stage where I was before surgery. Get your mind set that healthy food is the way to go.

I am dreading my pre-op diet more than anything, but I know when the time comes I will definitely get thru it, with a lot of praying of course. I also know that you can do it also. Just stay focus and try to look at the light that is waiting for you at the end of the tunnel.

the pre op diet consist of chicken breasts fish and meat, high pretein, low carb, It isnt bad at all, i had baked chicken breasts, baked fish and such, was quiet good, then 2 days prior to surgery the liquid diet begins, that was the bad part but you can still drink all the liquids you want. good luck

Take it out on a pillow! That's what I do if I really can't get out some frustration. Or on the flip side, draw yourself a bath up, relax and close your eyes and just let all of it sink out of you.

Hang in there! Not too much longer!!

Remember, a couple of months from now, this pre-op diet will be just blip on the radar. It will be over before you know it. You can do this!! :)

I wish there was actual food in my pre-op diet! Then it would be easy to get in the right mindset. 600 calories per day and 80-120 grams of protein- All liquid Is kicking my behind. I'm starving. Vent all you want! I feel the pain. I can't wait to be sleeved and not be famished. If I could do this diet for any length of time, I wouldn't be such a chub chub.

      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.
