So I did by the Unjury starter pack to try them all. But I think I will supplement the glucerna with the Unjury to vary it up. My sweet hubs is gonna do the Liquid Protein and veggies at night with me. So I can have Soup with chicken or fish or beef and veggies in blender. Oh she also told me no exercise during preop. I will be on the exact diet post op for 10 days.

Hello October sleevers! How's everyone doing today? I'm feeling anxious and nerves are kicking in.... giving the pre op diet a trial run today. I'm not suppose to start mine till the 28th, but figured I would see how I do... so far so good... the real test will be after 4 p.m, cause that's when I usually start to get hungry!

I have to say I am excited and nervous! I got my size 14 Levis in mail today and I have to tell you, I cannot see fitting those. They look tiny! I am nervous about my pre-op diet. My hubs is taken me to dinner Friday. It is my favorite meal and restaurant in Bogota. I have pepper steak served with a side of tomatoes, red onions and blue cheese with a bit of olive oil and cracked pepper. Can't forget my glass of Argentina Malbec. So that will be my final "big" meal. Monday starts my real countdown.

Size 14??? What size are you now? I have an attic full of skinny clothes (size 14 the smallest) that are jeans and pullovers, no dated stuff with shoulderpads and peplums and such, lol. But i figure I may not get into them until next year. I am a size 2x and 20/22

      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.
