Today is the last day of my full liquid diet and I start 1 week of Clear Liquids prior to surgery on the 14th. I go for all of my preop testing tomorrow morning so I'm excited to be getting close. I lost 8.8 lbs since last Wednesday by gained a couple back today so that was extremely discouraging. But I'm sure ups and downs are going to happen!

My surgery is May 15th. Yikes! This is my second. I had a lap band in 2011 that had to be removed 7 months later, so I'm nervous and excited.

Jess, I will be with you on that day but I am so busy that I barely have time to think about it. Fire at mom's place in while she is on vacation in Arizona and a new job for my husband where I already work part time, prep for an intimate talk with about 3, 000 high school students, speak on stage to the said students, arrange to get new floors installed, plant bulbs. prep for post op etc... this is just a sample. My center doesn't have me on the liquid but I do it because of the convenience so find something to keep you busy but make sure you don't let the gremlins roar, I find that the shakes actually help. I call them gremlins, there is a technical name but i don't know how to spell it.

i have not gone through it yet but, i plan to make popsicle with the clear Isopure, its a bit pricey at about $4 a bottle but I think its still worthy for the clear days. I tried a batch and my only problem is to keep hubby from them, Just joking, after the operation he wont even think about it. He is a little afraid something will go wrong.

      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.
