I got a call this morning from my surgeon's office saying my doctor had an emergency and my surgery was going to be postponed until next Tuesday the 11th. I was a little bit anxious waiting for today, but now I have to go ANOTHER week (my 3rd) on the liquid diet so I am freaking out and hungry as anything! I don't know how I'm gonna do this!

I am sorry to hear that, and I can understand how frustrated you must feel...I am not sure how I would have dealt with that if I were in your situation...I think we just do what we have to do, if you know what I mean...just spend a lot of time on here...everybody listens and supports me when I get down or frustrated, and I think it will help you, too, during this unexpected additional wait time

I was in my hotel room next to the hospital because my surgery was at 7 am. And I had taken the milk of magnesia. So I call to check in to the hospital and they said my surgery was postponed because the insurance hasn't agreed to the sleeve from the lap band. And I was on the toilet shouting at them. So they ended up rescheduling and I got my surgery on oct 31 three weeks later. Gave me more time to loose before the surgery. Things happen for a reason. Don't use this an excuse to eat! Just keep going with your head up.

What a bummer but it will be alright, must be for a good reason. The preoperative diet was hard because we had the hunger, but it was so important to me to have a good successful and safe surgery so keep thinking in those terms and you will whip through this next week no problem.

      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.
