The class went well very informative on what I can and cannot eat. My 2 week preop diet is 1000 calories only so I can still eat food so I went shopping for a lot of smart ones and lean cuisine meals and really making sure I'm not eating and drinking at the same time. How's everything going with you Joann and thanks for asking

1000 calories that's good, at least you don't have to do the Protein Shakes that everybody seems to find disgusting. But be careful on the smart ones and the Lean Cuisines just watched the sodium intake because the sodium can be kind of high on those meals.

I'm doing my voluntary liquids and Proteins today just to see how well I get through a day. I started off with tea from Tim Hortons with equal in it and I had an Atkins strawberry shake which has 15 grams of Protein and only one each of carbs and sugar and 160 calories. I'm also going to try the ensure high Protein Shake that has 25 grams of protein, so hopefully I can still tolerate the taste after the surgery . I hear a lot of people saying that their taste buds go a little haywire after surgery.

yeah I heard about the taste changing. I haven't tried any shakes yet in case I don't like something after 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.
