Lol. Me as well. My pre op diet consists of a Protein Shake for Breakfast & lunch and a lean cuisine for dinner and at least 64 ounces of Water. That should shrink the liver for easy access for laparoscopic gastric bypass. I'm going to hopefully not go crazy!!

I am new to this group but my surgery is April 26th. I live in Canada so am fortunate that our health insurance pays for the surgery. Had my pre-op yesterday so nothing else until day of surgery. I am beginning my second week of Optifast and it isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I am anxious, nervous everything rolled into one. WIshing this will give me a reversal of my diabetes . Fingers crossed.

      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.
