My calorie count is easy. 1 slimfast shake plus 4 glucerna shakes equals 900 cals and 70 g Protein. That's been my diet for 12 days now :-(

That's where we differ. I didn't have to do a liquid diet before my VSG. I was put on a 1200 cal for the prior 2 weeks.

Oh gosh' date=' to not be hungry at all! Day 12 of preop liquid diet and Im starving!! Do you all think preop is the hardest part?[/quote']

Yes pre op was harder for me plus my husband and four kids were always eating around me. They would say things like ill go in there but I said no I have to get use to this. Well after surgery I'm not hungry at all. I get can get in all my liquids and what not but never really hungry.

One of the great things about God is that He knows intimately how to walk alone down a road where he is beaten, ridiculed, and ashamed. He will NEVER EVER let you suffer alone.

I'm praying that you see Him coming from the people around you. Every whisper of encouragement, every kind touch, every nurturing presence is His love for you, His child.

he and I are well acquainted. I will be praying for you with everything I have. I have my surgery the same day you do. If you want someone to call, feel free to IM me for my number.[/quote']

Thank you Kyeta96. For a couple of weeks now I've been scared & upset I have to take this journey alone. I was very concerned with recovering home alone. I'm prepared & I have everything I will need but it still doesn't remove the fear. I know God is taking this journey with me.

      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.
