Hello Kiara, and welcome. You can find excellent help and guidance here. Good luck on your surgery, deal with the pre-op diet you are required, and before you know it, it will be done! I am a little over 2 months post-op and could not be more happy and healthy!! Best wishes!

Me too....Im thinking its going to be the being of April for me. I can't wait. Though I only have to do the 2-weeks liquid diet just before, my Nutritionist said to start getting in a day or two per week for just liquids. Today is my first day trying....its tough. Kiara5244 I hope you find support and glad you are on this site.

So far it has been a little hard to adjust.. Im use to eating pretty much one meal a day which is dinner.If i ate something before then cool but i never worried about it much. Im a hairdresses so sometimes stopping and having a sip of Water let alone a snack is hard. But i want to change my life so my nuritiionist asked me to do a trial run and ive been finding time to fit in the meals i need and the liquids!!!

      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.
