Yes I weaned off the caffeine and started this week replacing one meal with Protein Shake and next week trying for two. Thought that would make the two weeks a little easier. I hope!

I am also really nervous about the pre-op diet. I have to be on it for 9 days. I've heard the first couple of days are the hardest and once you get over that it's a breeze. ;)

I start on Monday. Trying to ease into in this weekend. So nervous you guys! I'm an emotional roller coaster! Happy- nervous- scared- disbelief. You name it, I feel it. I'm just trying to stay focused. :)

I hope You all are all doing ok on pre-op. I just tried something that's pretty good. I mixed about 4 oz V8 ( low sodium) with about 8 oz chicken broth. It was decent and something different.

How many Protein Shakes are you on? My Dr. Has me doing 5 and I'm having a hard time fitting them in. I ended up doing my last two together last night.

      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.
