Yes I am just supposed to eat Protein and no carbs and eat on a salad plate. No sugar. I'm slacking but mentally I can feel myself preparing. My coordinator is supposed to contact me ten days from my date and go over my diet with me.

I am on 6th day of pre-op liquid Protein diet. So far so good...2nd day was toughest, but I made it through. The EAS carb control shakes are actually quite tasty...rich dark chocolate is my favorite - they are 17 gms Protein, 3 carbs. I can also have 1% -2% cottage cheese, cream Soups, and Greek yogurt. Having those what they call "full liquids" is really helping to make it easier!

New here too. My date is April 17 - one day before you. I am nervous as hell! I have made a few other posts about lack of support and other things.

My Dr's liver-reduction diet is very simple to me. The hardest part is the protien because I HATE shakes or Protein powder.

I feel overehelmed in the pre-appointments though. And I want to be sure my house is all cleaned up and the groceries done etc before I am admitted.

I feel very overwhelmed.

      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.
