November 7 in Tijuana Mexico for me, coming from Fort McMurray Alberta. Looking forward to a new me. Worried about being able to "stick to the plan" after surgery since I know food is a crutch for me and I have a lot of head hunger. I've been saying goodbye to a lot of food the last two weeks (oh precious, precious popcorn, I will miss you so). What are you people doing to prepare yourselves for the food restrictions after surgery?

I got my pre-op food plan and I do not have to have a liquid diet except for the day before surgery!

I have a special food plan which is 3 meals and 2 Snacks a day with 1 or 2 snacks (or breakfast) should be a Protein Shake with skim milk and even certain fruits added like 1/2 cup strawberries! You do need to have 4oz. Of fish or 3 oz. of chicken or 4-5 oz. of tofu or Protein meat substitute (in case you are vegan) in at least 1 meal. I am soooo happy! Meals can include things like 1/2cup black bean Soup, 1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese or ricotta cheese and all the non starchy veggies I want!

I wonder if they want you to be in good shape and not feel starving when you have surgery so you will feel and heal better? All I know is I am grateful!

My last labs, ECG and pre-op class is this Tuesday. I will bring some organic soup labels to see if any are acceptable as they say 1/2 cup soup in the plan. I'll keep you posted on that!

      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?

      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.
