Day 1 pre op diet here we come. Already have a headache which I knew I would have. I'm about to clean out the pantry and fridge so there isn't any temptation.

Pre-Op diet is much better today. Went out to restaurant with some ppl yesterday and I did fine. I just drank lots of Water and talked! I've been worried about how few calories I am consuming with these shakes. How many calories are you all getting per day?

I'm in the Bronx. What prompted your revision? I responded to your PM.

My Surgery is with NY Bariatric as well, Dr Angstadt. Dr Garber removed my band on may 22nd :-)

Hi' date=' how was the edg? I'm going next Tuesday...a bit nervous.[/quote']

It's not scheduled until the 12th.. They are going to do the EDG and some Brovo pH monitor to make sure I don't have GERD on that day.. Then I start my liquid diet on the 13th.. I hope all goes well for 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.
