Hi Kim,

I am in Nashville right now at the Guesthouse suites on Briley. I've shopped all day long and am tired so I came to the hotel and got on the laptop. Welcome to lbt, it is the greatest place in the world for knowledge. Just wanted to say hi and welcome. I live in Eddyville, Kentucky.

Dr. Morton is a wonderful surgeon! I am very pleased with him and the entire process. My surgery was 10/30th. I will be glad to answer any questions if I can help, even though I am a newbie...

Dr. Morton is doing my surgery December 23rd. I am not telling anyone so this group will be great for me. How does the diet work that you do 2 weeks prior to surgery?

      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.
