My doctors plan is very restrictive and I am not about to go against his plan when I have come so far and done so well. I am glad that you are able to eat what you want in moderation, but please don't judge me for following what my doctor said to do.

I think you are SMART, I did NOTHING that I wasn't suppose to do....other than drink from a straw. After I reached goal, I slowly but surely got to my new normal, but until then, I followed the straight and narrow. My nurse said I was "rigid" and she followed that up with "and it working". I was allowed sugar free Jello from the start, and he was pretty strict. Follow YOUR doctor's plan though and keep in mind, always err on the side of caution, you can't go wrong!

Who judged you??? This is why I don't post much here. Way to many sensitive people that cry and whine whenever someone says anything. good luck with your journey....

I'm not crying or whining...just your comment to loosen up a bit because I will have better results in the long run. Loosening up a bit got me in this position. Good luck in your journey as well.

Why doesn't your doctor allow Jello? I haven't had surgery yet so I don't know. Is it bc it doesn't have Protein?

He does allow it now but not in the beginning. I have been eating it the past week as a liquid.

      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.
