Throw all that crap out! Don't look at it anymore!

What have you found to eat, er drink? I LOVE Better Than Boullion. It's actually hearty! What about Muscle Milk Light Protein Shakes? Think, man, think!

Just think 30 pounds, and 11 inches gone from you waste! It is so worth it! You can do it. Throw them you will feel so good when you do.

Jason, creamy Soups really helped me through the slump. You should try them. Just avoid any chicken that might be in them. Eat around it.

He is in his pre-op diet so I dont think that he will be eating creamy soups.

I can relate to the pre-op liquid hell. I had 3 weeks of Optifast to endure. I was able to eat pickles during mine, and I went through a huge costco jar of them.

Just remember that this torture is required to help you with the surgery, and that in the end it is all worth it.

Be strong.

I THINK I'm finally adjusting. I had Atkin's this AM am I'm still full.

A filet and a cake would still taste REALLY good right now :)

Check with your clinic or surgeon.

I was on Optifast 3 weeks pre-op, with 225 calories of certain veggies like romaine lettuce etc. I did have numerous pickles throughout the day.

I had my surgery almost 2 weeks ago and my surgeon told me that my liver was positively small, and that I must have done well in my pre-op.

What pre-op plan are you on?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
