Recommended Posts

Someone help me!.. i am sooo struggling on this diet. And to add insult to this " injury"' date=' the nurse practitioner called me and happened to hear how congested i am. She said if it doesnt clear up, they will cancel surgery!!!!!!! Im naturally stuffed up but have had an upper resp infection for the past 2 months...(on and off)

Please pray that this cold clears soon!!.. if they cancel its back to food for a day for me. I cant do this another week.. its torture.

Where i am, we can only have 5 shakes a day. Nothing added but the powder and the milk. We can have broth and crystal liht etc.. nothing more.. i cant do but so much chicken and beef broth. vanilla strawberry and chocolate are now my enemies. Help me lord.. this too shall pass![/quote']

I start mine today! I only get 5 shakes a day too and I'm up for over 24 hours a day. So this will be interesting. I'm am going to struggle I know but we have to remember what the goal is in site. The nut said after kesadosis (sp) is ober about day four it gets easier. Lets keep our fingers crossed! I hope to sleep more through the beginning of the liquids (:

Good luck to you!

Today is my LAST day of food! I feel sad and mad and glad! I go to Clear Liquids tomorrow with 4 Protein Shakes per day with only Water mixed in. Gross. I know this is the right decision for me but it doesn't make the jacked up relationship that I"ve had with food for my whole life any easier to break up!

Wow can't believe my surgery is in 6 days

Me too! I am so freakin' excited. I'm going shopping this weekend so my kids and I are ready for the first few weeks post-op. I don't have to do a pre-op liquid diet so I'm not struggling too much. Superbowl Sunday will be a challenge though. Best of luck to you!

I pray your stomach and mind treats you well... Protein shakes and water is a bit harsh... I swear..I should have started this long ago to prepare for today.

And I fully understand the food relationship. I feel like a little kid who is seeking affection from a parent and being rejected. I can either A) scream and fuss (like Im doing) about how its not fair and continue to do bad things to get any attention, or I can B) deal with it and find something else that will fill the void positively...

I have started walked 9 flights of stairs a day until surgery. Best I can do to take my mind off it..

Best of luck to you. I am here with 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.
