Day 4 lol. I have 3 weeks before solids but it's pretty much whatever I can tolerate.

Week 2 - full liquid

Week 3 - puréed

I hope to lose a ton of weight in the first month!

My prescribed diet was

10 days Clear liquids

10 days full liquids

10 days mushies

Then slowly progress through full foods with red meats coming last.

But what I actually did was about 5days on each.

Don;t rush it. I tried and felt awful, vomited etc. Go slow....you have the rest of your life to eat regular food.< /p>

I'd have to agree with not rushing it. I'm not one to be a "goody-goody" and I tend to push the envelope but with this stuff? No way! Having been a nurse and seeing first-hand how the risk-takers suffer was enough for me!

I know the temptation is strong. I was on here telling EVERYONE how hungry I was and on Instagram telling people I'd KILL for a toasted cheese sandwich, but I knew it wasn't worth it. So, stay the course. If your doctor feels that it's time to advance you, so be it. Until then, feel free to vent to 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.
