Woohoo. We need to keep up with each other! Anyone starving yet!?! I'm mentally hungry and belly hungry some times! What does a clear liquid diet consist of?

Clear Liquids is clear Protein Drink (Isopure is the only one I know of besides unflavored Protein added to water). SF Jello, SF Popsicles, and broth. And of course Water. I think you can still use Crystal light (or whatever brand you use).

I am on the 28th! Feeling a little left out of the september group being that it is the very end of the month! I am 41, 5 ft 1 and 231 lbs. I am a little nervous because just this week my allergies have flared up and I have a cough. I do not want to be coughing after surgery. Staying dilligent on my allergy medicine and praying nothing gets messed up!!!! Pre op diet is vegetarian low fat so I am not suffering to bad. Practicing on Protein Shakes and found some good combos I like. :)

There are plenty of us late Sept sleevers :-) I'd love to hear about what you all are doing to add variety to you Protein Drinks. So far I've experimented with unsweetened almond milk, SF vanilla Creamer, Splenda/trivia and ice. When I can I will use the Magic Bullet to blend.

Forget to include that I'm using Bariatric Advantage strawberry Protein for pre op diet but had also experimented with nectar flavors and a few Jay Robb flavors.

      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.
