And I am on day 4 of my pre op diet! 4 of 10! Surgery is one week from today. The Doc's office called this morning to see how I was doing I fessed up to having a hard boiled egg on Tuesday night. She wasn't happy. To make matters worse I am on my period and I have the worse cramps ever! WTH.

You can do this. It does get easier, you are so close, less than a week away. Be strong.

Yeah, what a crappy time to start TOM. Hang in there. Just write down all the reasons why you are doing this.

I keep typing that believeing and hoping it works. I always have to say I pray I can follow my own advice.

as for the period, well, think of it this way - she too will be gone b4 surgery, at least the first 3-4 weeks after.

My TOM was spotting day of surgery, stopped the day after, and came back for nearly 2 weeks. I'm extremely irregular, but this was a surprise. I hear it's common too :/ Blah.

      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.
