Recommended Posts

I just realized that I'm suppose to start the my pre-op liquid diet on Feb 14th. It's Valentine's Day, but more importantly it's my 22nd wedding anniversary! You think I can have my last hurrah and go to my favorite restaurant before starting the liquid diet on the 15th?

I started mine a few days before Christmas and went through New Year's. I wanted to test myself to see how serious I was about making this change.

Ask your surgeon on 2/12 - he might surprise you and tell you to go for it!

Now I'm torn between waiting a day and cheating the first day. Kirk, you went thru Christmas AND New Years. I like your determination Kirk! I hope to build up to that much! My life shouldn't revolve around food.

It was hard as hell (not going to lie), but it was all up my head - that's the biggest battle. Post op I have had to go to client dinners, shows, concerts, parties and learn to fill my emotional needs with the people and the experience, instead of what I can eat or drink.

THAT, and I've dropped almost 16k into this process, so I have an additional incentive to make it work, LOL!

You're a good role model Kirk! And I guess 16k is a big encentive.

Ok...we can all do this. We all want to be healthier....well at least my mind is being good right now....after a meal of corned beef and cabbage....I know, I know, corned beef isn't the leanest meat, but I did leave off the potatoes that I usually cook.

      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.
