My surgery will be on August 29th. Original date was 22nd but it had to be delayed a week. I was required to do a 3 week liquid diet. This includes Protein Shakes, plain yogurt, quark, and Soups. All has to be puréed and low fat low carb. Because of the delay, I'm starting my 4th week today. For me, it hasn't been so bad because I can get fairly creative with soups. I've lost 14 ponds so far.

Passing the leak test is great news! Why u cant sleep? Is it too noisy? Or the pain is bothering u?

Wow, webchickadee could be a motivational speaker! Have to admit, as I'm getting ready to embark on the liquid diet, I've been thinking, ahhhh, I'll give it a whirl and if it doesn't work, I'll just cheat. I'm going to print out her post and hang it on the fridge. Will get through it now!! :)

      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.
