Yeah I'm excited are you? I'm on the liquid diet. I look forward to starting a new chapter in my life.

I'm scheduled for April 30th...Super excited to start a new life & to feel more comfortable in my own skin. Looking to share this experience with other people going through the same thing. I started my liquid diet on Saturday...today was the toughest so far. I went to the grocery store. I know it sounds silly but I haven't eaten anything other than broth, Jello, popsicle's and Water since Saturday.

I started on Monday and I've had a few crackers on mom and a few pretzels Tuesday I know it's bad. Back on track today I know I have too.

I woke up this morning with the worst headache :( I had a few crackers Tuesday but that's it. I haven't seen my doctor since January and since then I had gained about 6 pounds.. My grandmother was on hospice for a month so I spent most of my days sitting in the room with my mom and we would eat crap food & lot's of wine just because that's all there was to do. I hate that I allowed myself to do that but it was one of the only things that got me through it. Needless to say, I have my last apt pre-op apt with my doctor this Friday and he's going to think that I either haven't been doing my liquids or know that I gained weight...he's very strict. Well I'm off to get ready for work, nice that someone replied to one of my posts :) When is your surgery?

I'm May 1 as well! I started my pre-op diet today, though I "practiced" the last couple of days at work. My diet is 3-4 shakes a day + a lean cuisine type meal, for total calories under 890. Today I had my endoscopy so I didn't eat anything until 5pm when I finally got home :/ then I had (over the next 3 hours) a shake, an Amy's frozen burrito, 6 shrimps, and later some chicken broth. I feel like I should have another shake, but my throat hurts and I'm beat so I'm just going to throw in the towel and go to bed.

      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.
