Hi everyone. Just found this site. I am currently three months into program to have surgery. No date made yet. Have been doin g a one cup diet since January 4th. Very excited to have surgery and nervous.

Welcome! i've learned so much here. So is a one cup diet eating no more than one cup of food per meal?

So how is everyone doing with their diet? The closer I get to April, the harder it is for me. I keep saying to myself, well, if I want that food one last time, I should have it now 'cause time is running out. I've been able to lose 20 lbs in the last four months from dieting, but I feel burned out and I'm getting sick of trying so hard all the time to restrain myself. I hope this constant struggle gets better after the surgery. Tell me how you're doing! :)

Yes one cup of food per meal no Snacks and just Water. It is tough, plus i work out five mornings a week. Hope they move me up fast. Would be nice to start losing faster. But i wont give up.

I have lost 40 so far pre-op. I am watching what I eat for the most part and having one Protein Shake in the morning. I usually dont eat Breakfast, but was told I should, so I think this is the perfect time for a shake. I am also eating things that I want "one last time" and dont feel bad about it. After having food be such a huge part of my life for so long, I dont want to regret the surgery because I am craving things. I have to keep this in check because I do have one more weigh in on the 27th and have a goal that I want to hit before then. I find it is getting easier for me to curb the cravings because I know the surgery is coming and I want to make sure that there is NO reason that the surgeon may decide to postpone it! I think the 20lbs you lost is great and I wouldnt stress so much about eating the things you want. Just watch it the rest of the day and get back on the wagon the next day! After surgery, we wont physically be able to eat so much, so I feel this will get better! Keep at it Wendilou!! :)

Your doctor should be putting u on some type of liquid diet prior to surgery which will cause u to lose weight. Hope this helps!

      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.
