A fellow sleever I met in nutrition class found me on her and ironically we are having surgery the same day!! She is the first case of the day and I am the second. We been texting since we are both going through the liver reduction diet together. It is fantastic to have someone to buddy up with. The liquid diet hasn't been bad at all. Honestly I haven't been really hungry but I do miss eating. We are allowed a half cup of non-starchy veggies a day... I been eating a cup. I am going to try to reduce it to a half tomorrow. I have lost 4 lbs already. I feel super sluggish and have to push really hard to get anything done and my gut is making embarrassing noises.

Lucky you....I go to the nutrition class 2/6, so I hope to find a buddy. How long have you been on the liquid diet?

Hello, I have been a lurker on this board for the past 6 months as I completed my classes with Kaiser. I am excited to say all I have left to complete is my last lab and fitness test. I am waiting on them to call me next week to schedule them. I was told by February 23 my surgery will happen!!! It is so great to be at the end of this journey and start a new one... I would love to have a buddy or two talk with.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
