I'm cheating! I decide to take phentermine an appetite suppressor. Its a prescription drug which I saved when I was dieting which REALLY WORKS for me. I've lost 20 lbs in one month, problem is you gain it back in a year or so. Is that bad I'm doing this?

I don't really know much about that. I would stop taking it like 48 hours before though, so it's mostly out of your system. Maybe call whoever prescribed it to you and ask what they think? If I could take something like that to help my preop, I totally would!

Thanks for the support it was either phentermine or meth with this Damn pre- op diet! Thanks for the advise too, good idea regarding the 48 hours detox.

I'll let you know how tough my preop is, even though you'll have it worse than me! At least I get real food

Don't worry about me, if I get too hungry i'll start licking envelopes! Do keep me informed on how your diet goes.

      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.
