I started my 2 week preop liquids today! I had about 2 weeks from my last weigh in until today so I've eaten all my favorites "for the last time".... as a matter of fact I am so ready for my liquid diet and to get my surgery I cant even think of eating anything else! I can honestly say I am sick of eating! I have been an emotional eater since...well, forever. I have been working on getting things in place to do instead of eat... like walk or exercise. It's working so far. I have slowly put everything in order in my head and house so I am, for the first time in my dieting life, setting myself up for success instead of failure.

I am well on my way with this journey, looking forward to a new and much lighter lifestyle in the near future. Thanks to all who post and reply to others...I am reading, taking it in and using all that information to prepare!

So... I'm ready!!

It sounds like you are in the right spot !!! I am a emotional eater as well and I ate all my fav. foods before surgery. My doctor did not put me on any diet before surgery, just the day before I had to eat light. Now I am 4 months post op and at time I am hungry and crave certain things... once I taste them I really don't like them anymore. Since surgery my taste has changed and I don't revolve everything around food anymore. I get full real quick too !!! This surgery is the best !!!! I am sooooo glad I did it.

      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.
