Day three of liquid veggie fruit diet! I think I am doing good but I feel like I am eating more than I am supposed to which makes it easier but I don't know exactly what a serving size of these fruits and vegetables are. I am having the v8 puréed Soups for lunch they are good! Can you eating to many fruits and veggies hurt???

Ok.... So here is the real issue! I am still smoking! I need to quit! Thank god they are not testing me for it but I am having such a hard time! Anyone still smoke? Anyone smoke after surgery???

Ur doctor isn't doing a nicotine on day of surgery? ? I have been smoke free for three months and was told on the 31 of may they will test me before surgery that day and it has to come back clean.

I had two nicotine tests given to me during my 3 month program, I passed both by quitting. I am not smoking alot, but that is not the point. No more testing for nicotine, just my goals, and I know I need to. Surgery date is 6/4 :) !!!!

I was a smoker pre op. I liked smoking even though I know it's not good for you. So when I decided to have rny I said I was going to quit. I didn't stop smoking unil the day before my surgery. My surgery was April 23rd. It is a month later and I am smoke free. Yay me. I feel so much better.

I doubt that too many fruits and veggies pre-op are going to do any real harm but...too much anything post-op can stretch the pouch. fruit is also pretty high in terms of carbs. Great for you but you don't want to overdue it. Congrats on the surgery date!!

      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.
