Mind if I join in? I have surgery on October 29th. I start my 2 week liquid diet tomorrow (which I am super nervous about). I think I will most miss coffee. haha I had myself a moment at Starbucks this morning after all my preop testing and teaching. I'm anxious to get the surgery behind me. ~Krystal

I am 2 weeks post op.. I had a terrible caffeine withdrawal headache for a week... But went away.. I can't stand the taste of coffee now.: it's tea now for me.. Which is good less caffeine..

Yeah the 2 weeks before goes so slow.: but thank god didn't have to do the pre op diet like I see a lot have to do..

Good luck to you both

Well, I started my pre-op diet today and I must say that it's really starting to become REAL!! Woke up, had a boiled egg and a strawberry nectar Protein smoothie. Around 3 hours later a Cookies and cream Quest Protein Bar. Again three hours later a 2oz piece of baked chicken and a lemonade nectar Protein Shake. Today has been really easy so far and hopefully it stays this way. October 21st here I come!!! :))

      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.
