Hi ladies and welcome in the club :)

I am on the liquid for the last 14 days already and after the first 3 days it has become just routine. I did it before and really don't mind. Mind over matter, right and with such a goal ahead of us it really makes it easy.

What I struggle with is getting closer to the surgery date but only because I had some trouble with the anesthetic in my last surgeries. But hey we never know ;).

So keep your eyes on the ball and all will be fine.

I'm on the liquid diet and I can have 1 to 2 cups veggies with lunch and dinner. So I guess it just depends on the doctor. Mine no sf Jello or v8 not even popsicles. Then 3 days before surgery only the shakes.< /p>

My doctor just has me on a 1000 calorie diet. He said since I did so well over the three months I can eat, but no more than a 1000. I started yesterday. Today I was really tired. I do not know why, but I was not hungry. I did drink Unjury Protein Shake today. They are good. I think this is going to help me until my date Sept 11.

Regarding the pre-op diet and veggies-- I went to pre-op class this past week and while 1 cup of vegetables (no starchy ones) is allowed for the majority of it, the doctors are now saying NO vegetables 48 hours prior to surgery or they will cancel it. Apparently a patient did not follow it, ate corn and has experienced lots of ongoing complications. They are adamant that we be compliant or risk surgery being stopped.

Surgery is supposed to be September 3. I had a shock when I went for my pre-op on Friday and discovered that the office staff had the day off (which is strange because I was told to come in by noon that day.) Living in limbo now but still doing pre-op diet. Tomorrow I go to Clear Liquids. I will get this all straightened out on Tuesday.

      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.
