My surgery is Jan 8. I start my pre op diet on the 1st and have not had great communication with my doctor because he is German. He says full liquid diet meaning anything I can drink from a cup. I'm so nervous for the diet and surgery....but I'm super ready to get it started!

I start tomorrow too. Can't wait!

That sucks that they don't have it written down for you. My surgeon has books that they hand out that tells you everything from pre op to post op. I'm so glad of that or I would be calling my nut every 5 minutes.

Thanks! I'm glad I have a surgery buddy! It's nice to compare stories! What's your diet like? Mines not to bad I still get food. I'm so glad it's not straight shakes.

Cool beans! We can do this!

My 2 weeks consist of 2 shakes/2meals! I tried just shakes on yesterday, DAY ONE, and felt terrible. So decided to stick with the diet my dr recommended and feeling such much better on DAY TWO.

How are you fairing

It's rough not eating what you want. I'm not hungry but my head says I am. But I'm not giving up! It's going to be rough but I'm in this for the long haul! I'm ready to be healthy again! :) happy new year too us!!

Day22 of 4 week liquid diet :-/ Surprisingly I have managed a loss of 17 pounds. Got 6 pounds left to lose in the next 7 days. The diet wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't during the holidays.

      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.
