We will be starting our pre-op liquid diet on Tuesday. He has to do 30 days so I'm just starting it then with him. I think I'm actually ready. I've been having a week & a half long food funeral so I feel like crap. I'm ready to stop eating & get with the plan. Nothing has tasted as good as I thought it would; now I have a few extra pounds to get rid of.

I had a major setback and was sure I wasn't going to be able to keep my Sept. 12th date, but just as I have read over and over...one call to Susan and the problem was fixed within hours. Dr. Alvarez has been blessed with such a wonderful coordinator. Seriously, I have never had a Dr office contact me on a Sunday just to offer encouragement. I knew from day one if I was going to have surgery it would be with Dr. Alvarez. I did start my Chantix and quit smoking Wednesday night. I am doing very well with it and haven't touched a cigarette since. This is no small feat and I'm extremely proud of myself. I was a smoker for 22 yrs, now I'm a quitter!! I start my 7 day pre-op diet on the 5th....good luck to all the Sept sleevers...we are going to do great!!

      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.
