Cool, I haven't met Dr. Goyal yet. Dr. Forrester is my surgeon and I will also be at Overlook on Jan 30th. Is Jen your dietitian?

Yes she is. That's great. I guess is just a matter of what time they will schedule us. I hope mine is in the morning. Did you start your liquid diet yet?

Jenn said Overlook will call the day before and let us know what time it will take place. I'm with you I want it first thing in the morning. I kinda started. I don't officially start it until next week. But I went out and got some Isopure from the Vitamin Shoppe. They are going to take some getting use to as far as taste goes. Have you started yours yet?

      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.
