Two weeks post op. Down 23 lbs. However this need to chew something is driving me crazy cuz im liquid out... Soups wont hold the same yumminess they used to have. I start my puree foods lets see how it goes.

Could you chew on gummy vitamins or the Bariatric Advantage Chews?

I'm on the 25th too. Do u have to do clear liquid the entire time?

My program will allow clear and full liquids pre-op...cream of chicken, etc. Soups, & grits! So its not really that bad so far!

I spent Friday at my hospital pre-op, had labs, EKG, & CXR done and met with the pre-anesthesia nurse and finished up all my hospital paperwork. After that had my meeting with my NUT and Bari Program Director to go over everything and what to expect for my overnight hospital stay, finished paperwork with them, and then my final meeting with my surgeon's NP after that...everything is a go for the 25th and its finally hitting me that this is reality!! I'm excited, but just a lil bit nervous as it gets closer!

Ok so I am on day two and ate some peppers for lunch. I was starving. At least it felt that way, so I caved and ate some red,orange, and yellow peppers.

After I ate them, then I realized I had not taken the appetite suppressants my doc gave me. I took one immediately and it's helped my tummy not growl or feel like there's a hole in it. Tomorrow I'm starting straight out the gate! Diethylpropion works wonders. It helped me lose 20 lbs in two months just by eating less. :-).

Say a prayer....this is no joke!! My positive thoughts to out for each of you!

I'm having a hard time with being hungry too. Today I've already had 68g of Protein and still feel like I'm starving and every time I turn around my friends on Facebook are talking about food, posting food, or eating food, plus I never paid attention to how many food commercials were on tv until now!! The only thing keeping me going right now is knowing my surgery is on the line if I don't do it! If anyone has any suggestions on getting through this...I'm totally open to them!!!

I'm going to ask my doc about appetite suppressants. I ate everything I was supposed to today and I'm about to vomit. Its not that I want to eat, but I'm starving, how does anyone do this liquid diet! I'm allowed to have vegetables, but only at dinner and that has come and gone. I tried to occupy myself and I washed my car, cleaned my closet and organized my house. My husband is trying to help, but I'm getting very moody. Does anyone have any suggestions?

      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.
