Um, I had my surgery done by Dr. Illan and there was nothing unusual about my pre-op diet.

I just replied to your message before i seen this! You are in great hands! I am sure you will be as happy with Dr Illan as everyone else has been. And I agree I didn't see any thing different with our pre-op diet then other dr's so I am confused LOL

Bug meat?

It's a joke from another thread. I am not required to eat insects pre-op.

Oh, thanks for explaining that. I was wondering if bug meat was a nickname for something or what. LOL.

Ha ha, I was concerned I sent you the wrong pre-op information. I was panicking thinking bug meat was on there, I know Protein is important to us, but I have to draw the line somewhere and that definitely would be it, lol.

      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.
