I'm anxious. Btw my doctor doesn't put you on a special diet pre-surgery. I've been eating anything I want! Are you nervous? I think I'm most worried about comic atoms. Of all goes well, I think I can deal with anything.

Who is your surgeon? Mine is Dr. Wittgrove and he doesn't do the pre surgery diet also, your the only other person I've seen on here that doesn't have to do the pre surgery diet.

Going on day two of post op....if it weren't for the gas pains in my shoulder and neck, I wouldn't even know I had surgery! Except of course the obviousness that I can only drink a medicine cup full of fluids at one time and then feel almost painfully full! I'm so excited about the future now...still seems surreal that I had it done!

Pretty good! Thank you for asking. I am so tired of the full liquid diet already and I have 2 more weeks before phase 3. I have lost 12lbs since surgery. How are you doing?

I am right there with you on bored with full liquids! I want to chew something so bad! Lol...I've lost 21 lbs since before preop diet until now but 14 of it has been since surgery. I'm feeling back to normal with the exception of that small pinch of pain on the right upper side sometimes.

You are allowed cereal?! I'm so jealous! I'm literally on full liquids meaning nothing BUT liquids right now and very thin ones, no lumps etc. :( I want something crunchy so bad for some reason!

I definitely will ask! I have my 2 week post op appt. tomorrow so I will be drilling them on whether or not I can add items to my current menu. Right now it consists of drinkable yogurts or blended Soups with Clear Liquids. I will survive either way but I would love to have something else!

      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.
