Hey ladies! I had my surgery feb. 4th also. I had to do the shake diet for two weeks and thought I'd die. I was starving all the time. I think I lost about 10lbs. After the surgery is hard too. I'm hungry for things I can't have and have a hard time eating what I can.

My surgery couldn't have gone smoother. I had an awesome doctor and great nursing staff. I can't believe you have to do the shakes again! I would die. That's great you're sticking with it. That's the hard part.

This morning is day one of the shakes again ... I find they really dry me out but I know the week I did take them by day 3 I felt like I had a lot more energy an I lost 10 lbs in that week so that's what keeps me going lol .... So glad to hear you had a good experience keep us posted with your progress :)

      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.
