Awesome! I start my pre-op diet tomorrow. Trying to it slowly. The last week I have been subbing two meals with shakes. How is your journey going so far? How long was it before you could drive?

After three days of being in the liquid diet it becomes easy. Just make sure you have all the stuff you need for each day. Your energy level may be to low to go out and restock your supplies.

Hello all; I'm from Washington Twp., Gloucester County. I'm new to all this. I'm still in the certification stage. I've had my first Nut visit and will be having my next one at the end of the month. I've been feeling a little overwhelmed but reading many stories on here has helped. I'm looking forward to a new lifestyle and hope I will have as much success as many of you.

      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.
