The pre-op diet was super tough for me too! I was HANGRY all the time' date=' but I did lose 12 pounds and it made me excited for the surgery. My only. advice is don't burn yourself out on the shakes, because you'll be drinking plenty of those after the surgery![/quote']

Thanks Dallas, feeling a lil better today. Were you on just all liquids or low carbs?

I weighed myself and I've lost 3lbs. Since Wednesday.

( 5days) I did however sprain my left ankle today at work. Then I cycled for 5miles, which probably didn't help. I felt ok then, but now.... well that's a different story. Thanks for your support. How far out are you? Thanks again!

I was on all liquid, but my dr said I could have a Lean Cuisine every other day for dinner. I am 1 week post-op and can barely get my Protein shakes down at all. I am drinking maybe an oz at a time! But my dr said it will get easier and I've been trying to check out other Protein choices. I am on the full liquids for 2 more weeks.

I am down 20 lbs as of today so yay!

So my pre surgery was over 70 grams of Protein less than 30 carbs. So I have been doing eggs , turkey meat, turkey sausage, chicken breast, Company dinner tonight at BBQ place. So I did just a little sausage, turkey, and lean brisket- very little sauce. Yesterday did salad with olives and turkey meat. Very low carb Italian dressing ....so I am staying under on my carbs. Hitting my protein. But that is what was asked of us. It's odd with all the variances. So hopefully what I have done is ok. Doing my surgery on the 24th

      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.
