Recommended Posts

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?

since last Friday. I am so friggen hungry. I did cheat a lil I must admit. I am hoping the lipitor I am on is keeping my liver fat at bay. LOL...I am hopeful. Definitely will be good tomorrow since surgery is Monday.

Solea78..... I know the feeling!!! i lost 100 pounds a few years ago and I hate that I am back here again.

I am going to look for the Vitamins...did you get everything at costco?

Yes. I was able to find everything except a chewable Multivitamin at costco. Im drinking the premier shakes that they have there and bought sone flavorless Protein (I opted for premier brand Harmonized Protein).

In the last 7 days Ive already lost almost 10 pounds...but...Im STARVING! lol

Well our date is coming up in exactly one week! WOW! I am on day 14 of my 21 day liquid diet and have managed to lose 13 lbs so far (I've cheated a few times but have kept the cheats healthy and low calorie). My husband and I joined a gym yesterday. I went to costco and was able to find everything I needed post op including the chewable Multi-Vitamin, chewable Calcium and sublingual B12. I am ready.... :-)

Its coming up sooo fast! I cheated yesterday by having a couple of bites of pulled pork and absolutely hated myself for it! Its so tough not "eating" & having to still prepare meals for the family. Anyways, Its out of my system now and Im good to go! We can do this! Have any of you picked up any books on weight loss surgery? I know that Im going to have to work on my head to overcome my past eating problems.

      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.
