My preop diet starts 10/14, I normally do all the cooking for my family. I'm nervous about this adjustment and getting through the week. Any advise?

Hi everyone! my surgery date is oct 15th in Arlington tx with Dr Lyons. i just got my approval yesterday and i am on cloud nine! i have been a lurker here since last aug when i decided to research the surgery. My First appt was actually Jan 10th of this year, and i was told i might be able to be sleeved by March... But instead i fought tooth and nail with bcbs and shed many a tear. i was denied in may, but my amazing surgeon appealed it for me, after tons of run around, i finally got approved!! i have an appt next weds to sign all the final paper work and learn what my pre and post op diet will be and when i start all that... its been 9 months of uncertanty and in the last 30 hours my whole out look has changed... i am ready!!

      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.
