I started this journey in March and it feels GREAT to say I HAVE A DATE lol Dec 21st. They just called me from my doctors office and told me to start my liquid diet ASAP! I'm a little worried because I thought it was supposed to be a two week diet. They told me to go under the website and look for it I can't find it =\.

Congrats on getting your date. I remember the feeling I got when I found out I had been approved by the insurance company and again when my doctor's office called to schedule a date. If you can't find the diet on their website, call your doctor's office and ask them for the url . I would ask them to send an email with to avoid any guessing on how things are spelled.

You can't help it if they called you today and that is not the full two weeks. Try to follow the pre- and post-op diet to the letter to mitigate chances of complications.

Good luck with your upcoming surgery.

      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.
