I started my pre-op diet today, I got on the scale and was surprised to see my weight. I am down like 13 lbs from 4 weeks ago. Of course I should explain that I have had a bug that has cut my appitite and has loosened things down below. So much for getting the flu shot!

I am experimenting with cutting and pasting the tracker I created below, excuse the duplication.

Thanks Dave

Alex and Dave as I said to Dave best wishes to you both and in my mind, you are both doing the right thing. When you post diet gets to you a bit, just think of all the good things to come.Doddie

Alex & Dave

I was banded at Toronto last Thursday. Everything went great and fast it was amazing. I felt so good when I got home just tired. Took pain meds first night thats all. Gas wasn't even that bad. You will both do great.

The pre-diet is a bit of a challenge , just get creative with the cottage cheese...it helps. I am now on full fluids and not feeling one bit of hunger. Just at night, My stomach is so loud it has bothered the Dog LOL

you will both do great.

Welcome to your new LIFE!!!

Hi Rosi, thanks for sharing your experience, it make me more confident that I have made the correct decision.

I am hoping to actually meet Alex on April 5th at TLBC. It would be nice to put a face with a name. Maybe we can then get together for coffee and share our deepest worries and concerns...

Na, to girly, maybe the occasional e-mail, lol!

      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.
