That's awesome Italian girl! Proud of you

Thanks! Learning after surgery is very different... Taking it one day at a time... But I'm very hopeful this will get easier daily..

Drink broth WITH SALT! Your body needs salt and it give you an energy lift. I used to go to a restaurant and order chicken, veggie or French onion Soup and ask for just the broth. I guess a lot of people do that because they were always very accommodating. Panera bread was my go to place.

Good luck on your journey. It's going to be amazing!

I think I may of been the only person to ween herself off food about 5 weeks before surgery I replaced one meal with a shake for 2 weeks then three weeks before I did two shakes and one meal. Then two weeks before surgery was the liquid diet I was able to eat one cup of cottage cheese (nonfat) a day or Greek yogurt plus 2 shakes. If I was hungry I'd eat some sugar free Jello. I also drank Water through the day it made it very easy. The two days before surgery I did the clear liquid diet and used the ready made Isopure to stay full since it has a lot of Protein. I weighed 283 5 weeks before surgery and the day of surgery( monday 8/12/13) I weighed 263. Which I was actually very proud of..

Good luck!!

I did that.. It made things easier..

      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.
