Yes this liquid diet is getting old. I have been on it over 2 wks and my Surg is now the 26th..... The docs office said they would like me to stay on it until then. My final pre-op appt is on the 22nd. The boost shakes and Vitamin Water and reg water is getting old.

Monken and I have a doc that wont let us eat yummy things like juice, potatoes or cereals......nothing but lean Proteins for the first 75% of weight loss. Fun fun fun.....but I guess that is motivation enough to get there I guess.....then we get veggies back right....woohoo....I'm going to miss artichokes and asparagus and oh so many things.

So frustrated.

My surgeon has had to pass me off to another Surgeon. And I'm supposed to have my surgery next Friday.

Now I need to meet with the new surgeon, and I have no idea if I am going to keep my surgery date or not.

Unfortunately I am out of the country on business so will have to wait till Monday to see the new guy.

Which is stressful. How am I supposed to start my per-op liquid diet this Wednesday when I don't even know when my surgery date will be.

I cannot even explain my frustration it's that huge!

There was issues between the hospital and the medical aid/insurance.

So have to change hospitals and surgeons. Hopefully it will be the 19th now, but will have to wait and see. Meeting new Surgeon on the 11th then I will know more after that.

      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.
