I got my previous op labs done today. I see my surgeon this Thursday and preregister for the hospital Friday the first. Then I will find out my surgery time for the 6th. I am so hungry. I can't wait to be over the surgery part and feel satisfied. Went to a really nice restaurant with the family and ordered fajitas, but just ate about 4 oz of chicken breast and about 1/2 cup of the grilled peppers and onions. I had to stare at the tortillas, rice, Beans, sour creme and guacamole. It sounded so good, but I have to get to 268 by Thursday and that is with clothes on at one in the afternoon. I am at 269.4 naked in the am....so I figure I need to loose 3 more lbs to get there. Just 12 and 1/2 days till surgery.....oh boy.....nervous.

I seem to be the lucky one..I have been able to eat whatever I want on the lean and green diet as long as I Iost the weight I needed to in order to schedule my date. I will do Clear Liquids the day before surgery and regular liquids with puddings etc. for 2 days before that...sounds like everyone else has a much more structured plan...not looking forward to the bottle of lemon magnesium citrate....ughhhh

I have 2 weeks of shakes and zero calorie liquids (water, Jello, crystal light) then 1 day of clear liquids....the next 2 weeks I will be an irritable beast. That said, I don't have to do the bowel prep!!!!!! Woohoo!!!!!! (Although the shakes give me horrendous diarrhea, I probably wouldn't need a bowel prep :/

Has anyone else hit a stand still with the prep op diet? I list 15lbs from day 1-5 and have stayed the same day 6 and 7. I hope this is normal? ? I'm on the Optifast Protein shakes only.

Typically. What you lose the Irish 3-4 days is mostly Fluid so that's why it's so dramatic at first, you're peeing all the extra your body is holding off. It does slo down after a couple days but stay the course and it will pick back up some, it likely won't be 15 pounds in 5 days though! Good luck! Ou or this!!!!

      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.
