Day 4 of pre op diet. It actually has gotten a lot easier!! The first day was the hardest. Going from eating anything I wanted to just shakes and vegetables was hard! But no cheating here! Only 10 more to go!! Hows everyone else doing??

Started my liquid diet yesterday. I agree that it was harder than today. Luckily I only have a one-week diet. I think I'd eat my leg off otherwise! Went to my surgeon's pre-op today, hospital pre-op tomorrow and the big day is next Wednesday! Cannot wait! Woo hoo, we're all going to do awesome!

One day at a time is all you can do...it will definitely pay off in the long run. What type of Protein are you all using?

The center that is doing my surgery provided us with the protein mix that is mixed with Water. They had many flavors which I picked strawberry. It's not too bad. I had 1 for Breakfast, then 1 for lunch. I had 4 oz of fish & 1/2 cup of veggies. I must have at least 64 oz of liquid which I don't have problem with, I drink lots of water anyway. I hope day 2 goes better.

      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.
