@Karen_golfs ... I am starting my diet on Tuesday as well. I am going for my all day appointment tomorrow where I see the anesthesiologist and stuff. Did you go through this appointment already? What should I expect?

No all day appointments here. All of my testing is at various times and dates. Have done psychiatric eval, NUT, sleep study tomorrow, pulmonary testing Tuesday, and labs whenever I go (as long as it's before surgery), 2nd surgeon appt Dec 20. I suppose I'll meet the anesthesiologist right before but that's OK cause this is a small town and the surgeon has done several procedures on me in the last several years. He'll have access to all of my medical records and works closely with my surgeon. I'm in good hands and you will be too.

      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.
