I'm beyond excited :) Down 13lbs and hope this fatty liver is a little bit smaller. I'm stocked up with Protein powders/sf jello/broth & baby food prunes (I've been told its good to have on hand for possible Constipation issues). We can do this !! We'll be on the losers bench before we know it

It went really well! After the 4th day, I never even felt hungry. Just space out your food and Jello and whatever Snacks you are allowed so you are eating something every few hours. You'll do great!

Actually, someone asked that in my pre-op class yesterday with the bariatric nurse...Pretty much the answer was as soon as you feel up to it. Most of the women in my support group waited a few days to a few weeks... some said the surgery increased their appetite ;-)

      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.
