I survived the all liquid diet yesterday and I drank abotu 3 Protein Shakes yesterday giving me a total of 75g Protein yesterday and probably tons of carbs from the white grape juice. I'm drinking the magnesium around lunch time and I pray my 12 month old will go down for a nap so that I can hang out in the bathroom lol. I'm getting nervous about tomorrow but I'm pretty confident that I will be fine. Praying I don't have a panic attack while walking to the surgery unit. My husband is being very supportive and he gets a week off from work. Today I had to turn in my urine so they could do the routine pregnancy test. I'm praying I'm the 1st surgery of the day tomorrow. Good Luck everyone :)

You're not lyin'. I'm on day 2 of 14. Actually doing well & QUITE surprised I don't have a caffeine headache. Maybe there's just enough chocolate in the shakes & bars that my body isn't going into complete withdrawal.

I figured that might ruffle some feathers ;-) yes, I am glad to have something to chew. I'm on Optifast 800 & eat 5 meals a day. 3 have to be shakes but the other 2 can be bars. I am also allowed plain celery &/or plain cucumber slices if I need something else to chew. But I'll be in your same boat after the surgery...

      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.
