I was just told that i most lose 20 pounds within these two weeks or surgery is off. I asked her if thats even possible, she said yes. I probably need hands laid on me. Damn, i will be very moody and mad as hell. You guys are my people so help your girl out.

Are you a gym member? You can start there, also start doing Soups and salads maybe. Only good carbs, make sure the soups are clear broths. Your Protein at dinner should be a the size of your palm and two veggies steamed no seasoning in toddler bowls. Don't forget to drink a gallon of Water a day or more.

Best of luck, Linda.

Know the first few days are going to be hard. But muscle your way through. It will get easier as the days pass.

For me, the pre-op diet was probably the hardest thing I have done, but now 5 days post-op, I can truly say, it's worth it.

Keep your eye on the prize, sweetie. You got this!

      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.
