Wow that's a long liquid diet! I have 14 day liquid diet. I'm bummed because that first week I will be traveling for 9 days for business! It sucks and will definitely be a challenge! My dr said I can have leafy greens with calorie free dressing, so I need to look for those dressings. Good luck to u!

Hi Solea78,

I am also going with Dr. Ponce. I've heard many good things about him, and his coordinator Trish is awesome!! I'll be out there on the 27th. I hope to hear how your experience goes.

That's going to be quite a challenge to be traveling. The 1st three days were really hard but now I am on day 5 and I feel pretty darned good. I think being able to eat a salad would make it worse - not sure why but it's easier for me to just know that chewing anything but sugar free gum is something that I will not be doing again until mid March, after surgery. Good luck - you can do 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.
