Heather, I am in Dallas. Dr. Jayseelan is doing my surgery at Medical City. I am on only Clear Liquids for 7 days. I am on day 2 and have surgery on friday, Feb 7th. Popsicles, Jello, Protein Shakes, gatorade, etc. are it. I got a pedicure today and some girl was eating Taco Bell and I wanted to yell at her. 5 more days! Who is your dr and where is your surgery?

Hi you saud clear liquids, then u mentioned Protein Shake (is that clear)?

Well I didn't really lose any weight this week. I'm barely eating anything so idk what the problem is. Pretty disappointed in a 1-2 lb weight loss.

U have to get the Protein in, it will help. Were u told to sip Protein Shakes?

I am so glad I came across this website, everyone is so encouraging and full of knowledge. I am starting a pre-pre op diet. My surgeon says I have to lose 37 pounds before his office will submit my information. I have been doing this since November 2013 and it makes me real anxious to have to lose the weight.

      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.
