Good luck! That's gotta be a challenge but sounds like u r motivated! I'm scared for the pre op diet hopefully it's not liquid for two weeks. I will find out tues.

I just tell myself that in 6 months or so I will be able to eat anything - in a responsible & controlled way of course!

Everything we have now will still be available later so there's no hurry to eat it.

Did you find out how long your Pre Op diet will be? Wishing you lots of luck,after the third or fourth day it does get easier.

I start my pre op diet Wed. It's three weeks, 5 Protein drinks a day, 800 cal max. I don't know how I'm gonna survive lol. The surgeon said if I don't lose the 20 lbs he anticipates they won't cancel, only if I gain. Hope it flies by!

      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.
