Hi, I agree the cleanse isn't fun at all. I'm 5 weeks out now, and I'm feeling good. I won't lie the first two weeks I did some crying. My best advise is, do exactly what your doctor tells you to do. Stick with the allowed foods. I'm down 47 pounds already. I had my surgery at Centennial, where are you having yours and when? I wish you all the best! Stay in touch, I am glad I did it, but that doesn't mean it's been easy. Centennial is one of the strictest programs, but I'm glad! Take care!

I'm glad you're doing well. For the first couple of weeks I was on a liquid diet, for the first week, and Protein Shakes mostly the next. I bought Protein Powder from the Vitamin Shoppe, the nectar brand. Sam's sells Premier Protein I love the chocolate, and it has 30 grams of Protein each. Take good care of yourself, don't forget the Water and protein. Good luck and stay in touch!

      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.
