Well i would start by buying or checking out the book weight loss surgery for dummies it is a great book full of information. Also your surgeon an or hospital should give u a guide of what to expect and what you will or will not be able to eat. And finally believe me after surgery even if you wanted to u can not over eat! Now it is difficult because u so not have the tool once you do then it really is your mind set that meeds to change. That is why the best thing is to research and read as much as u can behore hand!

There is some definate merit in drinking more fluids regularly. Start drinking regularly thru the day so that you will be used to drinking fluids all day long. Remember to be drinking your Protein Shakes. get in that habit right now =)

I just wish it would get here because it is hard to do this this way. I wish I could only eat a little bit I start but then I go back to the old me I want to change but I am not sure how to.

My insurance made me do 6 months with a nutritionist and that helped big time. I eat 1/3 of what I used to before.

      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.
