wow 3 weeks? I'd go crazy as well..lol. Do they have a goal amount that they want you to lose? I was told I wouldn't have to do more than one week and a clear liquid the day before surgery, but I'm sure that can change at my final meeting at the end of this month.

He wants me to lose 20-30 pounds before surgery. I'm usually great all day but at night I am ravenous!

I started my 2 week pre-op diet today and my surgery is scheduled for March 6th. I'm pretty excited to start a new life. I was pretty nervous until I had my pre-op surgery appointment this last monday and it really settled my nerves. I feel really prepared now. I'm just nervous about the next 13 days of this pre-op diet. Today hasn't been too bad, not really hungry, just a empty feeling in my belly. Good luck everyone.

      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.
