Hey Volley girl! :). I start the pre-op liquid diet on 11/4. I can have Protein Shakes, limited Tomato Soup and oatmeal during this time also so I don't think it will be too bad! I'm in Iowa, 5'9. - 310 with a 160 goal. Only lost 7lbs so far on my own, but hoping the liquid phase will kick start a loss! Lord I hope this works for me!!

I am November 11. Grateful that it is a Monday and I have Sunday evening to prepare. I am getting a bit emotional as each step is completed. I am looking forward to surgery and results that will make me lighter an my feet and help with pain in back, hip, knees and ankles. I know it can't cure arthritis but it can certainly alleviate some discomfort.

      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.
