I'm on day two of my pre-op. I have to do two Protein smoothies (i can add frozen fruit if I like, no bananas) and I am to have one "lean and green" meal a day. I can handle this. It's mostly mental...

That's what I keep telling myself. :P

I totally understand, how are we to follow a liquid diet for 10 days or more.....if that were the case, I'd be skinny and healthy instead of having to have surgery...lol I just finished my 12 month requirement by my insurance and getting everything together to submit to insurance for approval (keep fingers and toes crossed)....but of all the things I've been thru these last twelve months, I am so dreading this liquid diet thing cause I do not think I can do it at all :(

Hang in there, you can do it! I just completed 3 weeks on liquids (two pre-op, 8 days since surgery). Really looking forward to mushies next week! For me, keeping a variety of liquids available was key so you don't get tired of chocolate shakes! I have had chocolate and strawberry shakes, Unjury chicken Soup flavored Protein, unflavored protein in cream and Tomato Soups, and Isopure fruit flavored protein drinks.I really look forward to having soups in the evening when the family is having dinner, it makes me feel more like I am 'eating' with the rest of the family!

      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.
