My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow. Can't believe this day is finally here. Scared and nervous, but excited at the same time! Didn't have to do a liquid diet at all, except for the day before surgery which is today! So said my last good bye to my favorite dish last night.

Good luck to all the others who are in the same boat as me. Can't wait to start loosing now!

I need to pick up Protein Shakes as well however my dr only has us use it for 2 weeks after surgery and that is only if we can tolerate it. He said its better to stay hydrated the first couple of weeks than to try to tolerate something and get sick. If you want the names of the ones my surgeon suggested let me know :)

svhonda,

I suggest you try Premier Protein sold at Sam's Club. I started my pre-op Protein schedule a few days ago and I actually like them. No problem getting them down. I bought vanilla and chocolate and both are good. Your taste may vary so don't get too much at once.

I use Garden of Life Raw Protein and Raw Meal normally. I have been experimenting with other brands but none of them stack up to the quality or price.

      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.
