I'm in Plainfield, In. I have my last apt. With the NUT on April 22. Then to insurance for approval. I'm hoping that will be fairly fast. I'm also hoping the surgeon doesn't have a huge wait...I'm ready for this. I'm at St Vin. Carmel. I'm a little disenchanted with my surgeon.....I can't get her office to call me back.

No I haven't. I'm still waiting on a call from my Dr. I'm also wanting to lose 100 to 105. So far I've lost 30 on the liver reduction diet.

I've started the liver reduction diet. Its not too hard so far, but I'm only on day 2 lol. The hardest part for me is having to eat 3 meals and 3 Snacks a day and I m so busy I hate keeping a food journal.

I've been on it since Jan 11 which was my first appointment. The first month I did have a few last suppers for myself. The three major ones were eating sushi, homemade beef and noodles and drinking beer. The first thing I did was cut out diet coke and that happened the very first day.

Cacucci did my friends RNY 8 years ago. She's a good Dr., but she's not known for her bedside manner. I don't know about her office staff.

Yes I'm taking a multi Vitamin and calcium citrate with D. I'm supposed to be journaling but I don't. I eat basically the same thing everyday for lunch and Breakfast. I haven't had a Carb since I quit drinking beer over 2 months ago. I'm going to Nashville next week and I am going to have some Hot chicken.< /p>

I don't really snack but sometimes when I get home from work early in the afternoon I'm hungry. At times like that ill eat some low fat cottage cheese or string cheese.

Jerky is packed full of protein! It's a good snack. And the turkey Jerky and chicken jerky doesn't have a high sodium content. Yogurt and cheese are always good. :)

      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.
