So I've had a rough time with this low cal diet for Preop. I get two Protein Shakes a day, two servings of fruit, I can have milk and juice (limited to 2 cups max a day), unlimited Water too, then a lean meat and vegetable for a meal. I just got my presurgery diet handbook and found that I can eat more than I thought. The past two days I've been starving myself all day with just two Protein shakes and a very light meal in the evenings! So I have packed a bit more food for the day today! I think I got hypoglycemic yesterday! Had the worst headache and felt like I was going to pass out! Today is a new day and I'm going to try and eat more! ;-) it's only 12 days away! Now it seems my work is going to give me grief about taking a week off. I feel like it's my only chance to do this so I'm going for it! ;-)

I had my EGD today and it went well. Nothing to keep me from having surgery next week! My throat is sore. I also went through all of the Preop work ups at the hospital today! I found out that post op I won't be able to drink anything until my swallow study! I'm thirsty just thinking about it! 7 more days! Now back to my low carb/high Protein diet!

Still have nine more lbs to loose before next week and that's stressing me out.

Did they give you an amount of weight you had to lose before 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.
