I'm so thankful that I can do a low carb PRE op diet. I'm not sure I'd survive the liquid thing without snapping at everyone. (Praise god)

I'm with kanesmon, can't believe it's 8 days away !! My anxiety is through the roof though. I'm not scared anymore, just stressed and have an almost constant headache from it.

I'm glad we have each-other. Hope this thread starts to get busy!

Thats exactly how I feel! I'm basically constantly nauseous from all of the anxiety. But I'm trying to stay positive!! Thankfully I have a great support system, and having all of you to talk to and share my emotions really does help. I know soon enough we're all going to be posting our before and after pictures and living much better lives! :D We can do this!

I hear ya! I've been so desperate I will admit I actually chewed something up and then spit it out and rinsed my mouth. I have to say it helped. Gross, I know!

I am on day 2 of the liquid diet and its one of the hardest things I have had to do. I miss food so bad already. I know I can do this and need to because taking short cuts and giving up is what got me here in the first place. The hardest things in life are the ones we appreciate the most.

Yes, you CAN do it! Especially because you know that a lot of the problem is you are genuinely hungry. When we are on liquids after, at least our stomachs won't be aching. We might get mentally hungry, but not physically, and THAT we can do! Your surgery is on the 1st or soon after? Looking forward to hearing all a out it. :)

I don't know. I feel that way all the time! Just kidding. I had one day (I think it was day 3) that I felt light headed quite a but and weak. I decided I needed more Protein and ate some cottage cheese. That isn't on my pre op diet, but boy oh boy did it help! I did it the next day too. I had read that some people were allowed that, so I took it upon myself. Probably not good, but it did help and I'm not doing it anymore. Maybe ask your doctor.

      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.
