I'm doing the pre op diet and have to say it's really hard, I've cheated a few times but now that it's getting close I can't do anything else stupid just for satisfaction of junk food. Surgery date is dec. 4th. So it's getting close I'm getting more and more nervous/excited as the time goes by. One of the best advise I was given was to forget about the expensive Protein Shakes the doctors try and promote (bariatric advantage) Get Premier Protein. It has 30 grams of Protein per shake low calories and sugar. And they don't taste bad at all. Flavors are chocolate, vanilla, strawberries and cream. I get them at SAMs club! $18 for a 12 pack. But there are other places you can by them. Www.Premiernutrition.com. Also it's an distort to stay on top of your Vitamins make sure you take them, you don't want to risk sickness and loss of hair. Take one day at a time otherwise you can overwhelm yourself like I have.

Thanks!!! Good luck with the surgery......but my surgeon is strict i cant even drink the slim fast i want..i have to drink only low card etc... i can only take in 1000 calories daily so im super nervous about that but im going to try my best to keep occupied and try not to think about it...mind over matter:-)

I did the pre-op diet last year in early December, and it kept me from eating at holiday parties and from eating all the Cookies I baked. It was hard, but I made up my mind, and knew I just had to do it. For me, there was no trick to it - just do it. I used EAS carb advantage shakes from the grocery store. I was hungry the entire time, but I wanted to show myself I could succeed, and that was my motivation. I figured if all these other people could do it, so could I, and I did. I had my surgery December 19, and while the timing wasn't planned, I'm glad it was during the holidays. It kept me from gaining an additional 10-15 pounds. Even though I didn't feel great, at least I knew it was a new start for me. I had lost 25 pounds by New Years - well ahead of my annual New Years resolution to lose weight. So, I don't have any great advice for you, just my story of resolve. If I can do it, so can you! Good luck :)

      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.
