Good luck to everyone. My surgery date March 13th. The hunger is real. This is Day 6 of pre op diet. I was a little dizzy and weak after waking up this morning. Immediately had applesauce' date=' a yogurt and slim fast shake. It made me feel a little better. It feels weird to not eat real food.[/quote']

march 13 for me too.

I get 2 shakes a day + 1 yogurt + 4oz chicken + 2 fruits/veggies

about 800 cals total at most. not too bad but I am hungry at end of day!

I finished my mandatory 6 month pre op checkups n all the necessary blood work. I was cleared by all the doctors. All I am waiting for is a call from the coordinator to set up an appt to meet the surgeon. After that we set an appt date n submit to the ins company. I hope I get approved. If I don't I will hit rock bottom. It's been a very long process. I just hope it was all worth it at the end. My Vitamin D level is low tho. Has anyone been denied because of it?

I am in the hospital right now, been post op for for close to 20 hours now. A little sore but not too bad. However, going almost 30 hours without Water is KILLING ME! I'm going down for my swallow test hopefully within an hour. After it's done, then and only then will I be able to drink. This is torture, the thirst is worse than any pain right now.

      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.
