So, I am finding that my surgery is all I think about!! Ha! It's hard to focus on anything else for long periods of time. I'm both excited and nervous. I keep wanting to ensure I do as much as I can to prepare. Just a little over a week to go!

Today was first day on liquid diet with 1 food meal!!

It went good!

I shipped at costco, and picked up Premier Protein drinks, and muscle milk lite- my Dr doesn't want me to drink less than 20g of protein-

My husband grilled me chicken tonight and I measured out my Protein, grilled veggies and had a small salad-

I'm to have 1 more Protein Shake before bed- which is perfect for after my walk.

Surgery is 9/8/14, and I see my surgeon for the last time tomorrow until surgery!

I am down 17 pounds from initial appointment with him-

Do you know what the average pre op weight loss is?? I'd like to be down a total of 25 pounds before surgery.

How did everyone else do that started their preop diet today??

This is OUR month!!! Woot woot ! ????????????

I have surgery on the 8th also. I am lucky, my dr does not do the liquids pre op diet. I just have to limit my carbs to less than 55 per day. So that has not been to bad. I hate Protein Drinks so I have been experimenting with different brands and have actually come up with a few that dont tast bad. I like nectar brand and matrix coffee Protein drinks. I have only lost 10 pound since my initial appt and my final appt with my doc is today also!! SO EXCITING!!! I would love to follow your progress also. I dont know how to add friends as i am fairly new to this site. but i would add you if i knew how :D

      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.
