The first few days were tough. But I'm lucky my work keeps me on schedule. So that makes if easier. Day 4 went great. Only thing I noticed was the headaches and feeling tired.

I save my Soup broth for supper every night. I cook things for hubby that I don't like! I even had soup at the food court yesterday with them. Just the broth.

I am on 6 ensure high Protein, 1 cup of skim milk a day. And Water, tea coffee all sugarfree

You can do it!!

Easy for me too. Still took some time but seems like it went smooth. Now it's here almost! Doesn't seem real. I will start a reduced calorie diet this week as i don't want to give my body too much of a shock. Still thinking that a year ago i never would have pictured myself here!

I'm April 14th too...I'm only required to do a 1 week pre-op liquid diet but I'm going to do the full 14 days. NUT gave us a 5 day meal plan to start right away up until liquid diet but I'm planning to continue having smaller portions and do the liquid diet for 2 weeks.

Chike

Out of the 3 Chilke is by far my favorite. I wish I knew what people do to settle their nerves so I can settle mines. I think about being sleeved all day every day. My husband is like get off those d&$n boards lol hahaha.

      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.
