I WENT for my pre op physical today and it went very Well I was really happy with my results. And What really put the icing on the cake was my Dr. said I lost 8.5 lbs since she last weighed me on this Monday when I started my 10day high Protein liquid diet! I was in shock I couldn't believe I lost that much... I don't think I Gave EVER LOST THIS MUCH IN AS LITTLE AS 5 DAYS! AND I STILL GOT ANOTHER 5 DAYS TO GO BEFORE MY SURGERY NEXT THURS. THE 21ST:)

Thank you so much:) it might not sound like a lot but to me it is because I have been obese the majority of my life... It was really difficult for me to lose any?

Yes thank you so much... I must admit tho yesterday for the first time ever I tried to cheat :( I picked at a little piece of chicken but I very much regretted it instantly.... I got very sick to my stomach once I chewed it... I got nausea and ended up vomiting. I confessed to my Dr today and she told me I had that reaction because my stomach hadn't had food in days... Doing so upset my stomach. My appetite she mentioned has changed... I'm dying to find out how life after surgery will be.....

I was happy with the 14 lbs i lost on the pre op diet. I do recommend staying off the scale once u get home till most of the gas and iv fluids r gone so u keep ur spirit up. I came home weighting more than what i weighted when i got there. I should have stayed off for a week or so.

The good thing is I don't have a scale...for the same reason I don't wanna get disappointed.

I work at a clinic full time and even tho I have access to the scale I avoid it. Thank you so much for your advice! Take care:)

      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.
