Good luck to the both of you I am also on day 4 but of 12 days. It has not been as bad as I thought it would be. I am allowed to eat veggies, fruit and one serving of lean Protein a day. THAT has helped tremendously.... Best of luck on doing the pre-op with no slipups.... We can do this

More than likely I will hv it on sept 26th, on tge first I'm going to do slimfast to kinda help me get used to the idea of liquids, any advice I'd really appreciate thank you :)

I am also self pay in Mexico. I got my pre and post op info after filling out a patient form then paying the deposit to hold a surgery date . email them and ask for the info if you need lots of lead time. I wanted to make sure all my shopping was done early! For BMI of less than 40 my doctor only requires a three day pre surgery liquid diet, good luck!

shakes high in Protein seem to keep the hunger away best. (but not all are tasty) . Too many carbs/sugars will keep you hungry IMHO. Day 4 almost done, 6 to go.

      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.
