Hello everyone,

I'm having mine done on the 19th, today is the first day of my liquid diet. I've woken up with a cold, so not actually feeling hungry at the moment, which is a blessing in disguise.

I'm allergic to milk, so my consultant said I'd just have to do my best with finding suitable liquids

I'm scheduled for 6 a.m. Monday, the 17th. I'm very nervous and afraid that I will screw it up, but yet I'm feeling very hopeful and positive. (If that makes sense.) I've been told to just do "low fat" for two weeks before surgery to shrink my liver. At my pre-op appointment, my surgeon said I had eaten too many carbs. (But I have been eating very low fat foods.)

I tried unjury (Strawberry) and it's not so bad tasting. I'll probably go out tomorrow and get some more Protein powder. My nutritionist said to try it out beforehand in case I really hated it and had time to get something else.

      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.
