I'm on the 19th too, and I am also nurse. I am having my surgery in Mexico with Dr. Ariel Ortiz. Look forward to hearing about your success. Hope we can share in this journey together.

My procedure is on 11/16. Started the 2-week liquid diet last Friday (11/2). 5 8 oz. cups of milk with Carnation Instant Breakfast no sugar added, any unsweet beverage, sugar free jello-o, V-8, and up to 2 cups of broth/day. So far so good...down 3 lbs already! (Probably Water, which is always what people tell me when I mention losing low amounts....thanks for the support.) :)

I hope everyone had quick recoveries! We'll all be rocking the spring fashions in '13. Yeah us!

      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.
