I had my Preop visit with my surgeon today and then the nutritionist. My surgeon is ready to rock and so am I! I asked him how many people that he has done have died and he said ZERO. I asked him how many Leaks he said NONE! He's the best of the best and I feel very comfortable he is doing my surgery! I have a 2 week preop diet which consists of liquids, protien shakes (cornerstone is what he gave me) low fat Soups, sugar free popcycles, pudding and Jello. I can also have endless veggies! Wee!!! I'm so happy I just may go to McDonalds for dinner since I start my diet tomorrow! I'm so ready for this journey and nothin is gonna stop me from livin the life I was intended to live!

Awesome!!! I was so nervous about the liquid diet as it was the most extreme diet I was ever on. I had two rough days where I was probably detoxing, and then the rest was actually great. I had tons of energy, my skin looked great, and even my hair was extra shiny. It was totally weird.

Hope you have a great experience, too!

I just started mine today! I pretty much resent the heck out of anyone chewing within sight of me LOL. This too shall pass (so I've heard). Your diet sounds a lot like mine, except I can't have veggies. The doctor doesn't have a preference in shakes, just as long as there is at least 15 grams of Protein, and less than 20 grams of carbs per cup.

Do you have a calorie restriction? Mine is supposed to be 800-1000 calories a day.

I'm on day 3! I have to stay under 1,000 calories as well. I'm doing Premier Protein and they are really good. They taste kind of like a runny pudding. Lol. I am struggling tho and having lots of food cravings and mourning the loss of food right now.

So far I feel ok. The smell of my daughters fish sticks were a little hard....

I have to drink protien shakes with 20-30 grams of Protein per drink. Less than 200 cal per drink, less than 5 grams of fat and sugar per drink. I get 4 shakes a day with almond milk.

I can have low fat/low sodium Soups like healthy choice, one serving 5x a day. Cream of wheat, applesauce/ pudding low fat sugar free.

Veggies are free

Here's a sample menu

That's almost exactly like mine, except no applesauce :(

I'm on Premier, too! I like Muscle Milk better, but I had coupons for Premier plus they went on sale so I stocked up. They are good enough. Can't beat that 30mg of protein!

I'm jealous! I'm on strictly liquid. Shakes, broth, sf Jello, low carb yogurt and protein pudding. Good luck!!! I'm sure you will do great!

Premier, Chike and Unjury are good. The Syntrax Nectars are nastyyyyy!

Laura I have to buy the protein from my surgeons office at least for preop and 2 weka after. They like to make money off it. It's either Cornerstone or Bariatric Advantage and since they were out of BA I got Cornerstone and it tastes like shit!!! I was thinking after 3 shakes today, "how the hell am I gonna choke these bastards down for the next month? Then I put a banana in my blender and added a packet of Splenda and that did the trick!!

      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.
