Wow that's awesome Tyson ! .How long are you on the post op diet for & when's your surgery?

I'm booked in for 6/3/13, so I don't start my post op shakes till 22/2/13. I've brought kicstart Protein shakes ,I've tried a couple already n there actually quite yummy. I noticed you entered your weight in kgs not pounds, so I'm guessing your not in the states? I only ask as I'm in Australia and we use the kgs not the pounds as a measurement ... Lol

I am Australian yes, haha yeah ive been on my pre op diet now for 3 full days now and i have downed 3.7 kg, fair warning tho it's not easy if ur used to takeaway everyday 2 meals a day! Haha but it starts to get a little easier as time goes by and u also start to feel less lethargic and more energy which gives u the energy u need to cook for yourself and not jump in the car and get fast food haha, for me the cravings were at its worst the first day 2nd and 3rd its more the emptiness and hunger that gets to u.

I am booked for surgery on the 19th of Feb this year. I am doing the 2 week pre-op diet optifast/optislim, and seeing a dietitian.

May i ask what surgeon u got?

      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.
