Check with your NUT but our pre-op diet you can have sherbert and I believe that will be a my saving grace for substance...it was actually on our list of things for clear liquid diet.< /p>

I am a newbie. My surgery is May 14 and I start my liquid diet tomorrow. My nut allows low fat cream Soups and even cream of wheat or grits (no fat) At least it is something to chew, sort of.

sugar free Popsicles are good to substitute for pure liquid. When I got really hungry I ate a piece of string cheese.< /p>

I have tried the tropical popsicles. I think they will be very helpful. One of my fears is being at work and hungry. It will test my customer service skills for sure. How do you have dinner with family drinking a shake while they eat as usual?

I sit in an office all day. That is partly to blame for all the weight i put on the last 10 years. My friends at work even threw a "lifestyle wake" for me at work today with all my fav foods. They called it phat friday.

The pre op diet is the magic count down. I know I can do this. I am worthy. The visalus shakes taste pretty good. It won't be forever. . . it will only seem like it. Boy, one second i psych myself up and the next i kick my self.

Thanks for your support. It really does help to talk to someone that has been there or are in the trenches with you.

      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.
