Hey everyone!! I'm there with ya! I started my pre op yesterday...so today is day 2 for me...I can say that today has been MUCH better than yesterday. I was off yesterday' date=' and it was rainy out so that might have made it harder, today I've had work as a distraction and haven't felt those hunger pains as much today! If it continues like today, I'll be okay!! If its more like yesterday I might lose friends from being grumpy ;) hang in there girls, we got this!!!![/quote']

That's good to know. I'm still hoping for the best here!

What else did your surgeon say you can have? I imagine Clear Liquids but anything else?

Oh my!! I'm right there with ya! I have to have a Protein Shake and bar for Breakfast and lunch a Protein Bar for snack and I can have 4 oz lean meat for dinner with 2 cups of veggies but can only choose from my surgeons list he has. I don't like the Protein Shakes and I'm struggling with it. But oddly...I feel like I'm consuming too much :( maybe I'm just paranoid and afraid my livers gonna be too big for the surgery.

Hi all! I have been on clear liquid and shakes for 13 days! It seemed like the longest two weeks of my life but now that my surgery is tomorrow it seems that it went very fast! Do the best you can and don't sweat it. If you are going to cheat be sure that it's Protein you're cheating with! Good luck!

      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.
