Honestly the first day I was fine and today I woke up with a Migraine and missing food. But we have to be strong and I know I will start getting use to it.

I'm worried about the Migraines. I get them ALOT and normally it's caffeine related and I know I will need to just get over it, and I will.

WE CAN DO THIS!

My name is LeeAnn, btw :)

Ginko helped when I cut my caffine addiction. It took the edge off. Getting off suger was harder. I sart my pre-op diet on Monday.

I will try that! I start tomorrow, so tonight is my last hurrah with food. I think this first week will be the hardest... Then get easier. I'm going Protein Drink shopping tonight. Those things are tough... So many leave an after taste or are chalky. :/

Hey everyone! I am 8/7, too. I start my pre-op only one week before, but I have been trying to "loosely" follow it for about the past two weeks. I am down almost 10 pounds during that time alone. I'm in Florida.

I started shopping for my pre-opp diet. costco has some good deals on Protein Powder and Clear Liquids. My concern is all the artifical sugar and food dies. Has anyone found any sugar free option made with stevia or without tons of food coloring?

I just ordered the Jay Robb sample kit based on some suggestions I'd read here. Those are made with Stevia.

I'm drinking the premier Protein ready to drink shakes, in between makin my own. I got a binder at my dr.s office with a list of the things we could get. Also there are some recipes. Everything has to be 20+ Protein grams and 5g or less of sugar. I however get dinner. A very lean and small portion of protein and bright veggies. Such as a salad...

I have to say, the premier shakes are not bad!

How was week one of pre-op diet? I start tomorrow. I am nervouse since I nver got my packet with details in the mail. I had to go to their website so I feel like I am going in not fully knowing it all. What was the hard part for week one? I think I will miss chewing. I do have a last dinner planned for Saturday, my one cheat meal.

      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.
