Yes but my dr only requires one week. I am actually doing it now. I do shakes and one meal in the evening. As we get closer, I will start eating even less at night.

I will start with liquid diet on Monday... just met with my supervisor today to notify him of my surgery and my need for up to 2 weeks off of work. I am glad that the conversation went smooth too! Back to counting down the days until the surgery!

Woot Woot!! We're gonna have to be pre-op diet and sleeve buds! I am actually nervous about starting and sticking to the liquid diet over the upcoming Thanksgiving Holiday! Gotta get my meditation going so that I can get my mind right b/c I've got a whole lot to be thankful for including the insurance approval for the gift of Sleeve :)

      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.
