I am on day one of my pre op diet for Dr. Fernando Garcia. I just want to be honest right now and say.....I HATE THIS! I know I can do it, but I don't like it and I feel a bit like a child who has had their toy taken away. I never realized how completely addicted I am to food until now.

Right there with you but several days it- it does get better. First couple days totally suck, and I've turned into a raging beotch with just about everyone! Funny thing I recognize how aggregated I am so I'm actually kinda enjoying the massive loss of temper.

Surgery on Monday - this is my 3rd week of pre-op dieting. I wanted to be sure I would achieve my pre-surgery weight loss requirement. Only liquids this weekend, but I have lost 12 lbs so far. Hoping for 3 more by Monday to meet the goal!

I promised myself I would really try not to be crabby...this is my decision and I want to succeed. So, I am willing to suffer for a little while for a long term gain! This is such a mental game!

I'll be starting my pre-op diet next week. I keep negotiating with myself on when to start! I know it would be best to start the diet even earlier than two weeks before surgery, but that child inside me is stomping her feet and saying: "I don't want to!".

start early! I have slipped one or two meals, but haven't beat myself up since I gave myself extra time. I'm traveling on business nearly all next week so that's also why I officially started a day early. There's one dinner that I absolutely can't get out of, so I've given myself more time to focus.

      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.
