I'm Jan 15th.... been eating like crazy over the holidays - and yes, falling into the "one last meal" trap! Tomorrow night I will have sushi "one more time", and Friday, I have Mexican "one more time". Saturday I start my pre-op liquid diet, and I have a mind-set that when I can eat regular foods again, I will eat alot smaller and healthier portions - but before.... whoa!!!!! I'm all in eating! I have a couple of friends that have been through this, and told me to follow the doctor's diet EXACTLY to be successful - so that is my plan - starting Saturday :-)!

Yes' date=' I started my preop diet on 31st and I am starving!!!! I have to do 5 Protein Shakes a day and am allowed broth and sugar free drinks. That's about it!!

Today was tough - I started w a headache, prob due to no caffeine and it turned into a Migraine but was told all I could take was Tylenol which does nothing for a migraine! I ended up taking a hydrocodone - so I hope that is ok!!

How is your preop diet going??[/quote']

My surgery is Jan. 22! I am also guilty of eating whatever I can before jan. 8th. That's probably part of my anxiety. Ugh!

      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.
