Did you not get a diet plan from your surgeon, nutritionist, ect...? Its hard to give you advice on what to eat without knowing what stage you are in?

What @@Elode said... I'm utterly shocked at how many people have no idea what they're supposed to be doing. Maybe I'm just obsessive compulsive, but there's no way on earth I could do this without educating myself on every single morsel of information I can get my hands on. Is this a lack of research or is this an inept surgical team? I sincerely interested. I'm not trying to be a b!tch, I'm just seriously concerned at how many people do not know. This is a major weak link in our bariatric system as a whole.

Let me clarify this by saying that I know that this site is for support and information, it just concerns me that so many people leave surgery empty handed.

Its almost like they haven't went back to their doctors for a check up. I have a binder that tells me what to eat at every stage, I don't have my surgery until 12/10 but I already know what I'm to eat at each stage and I can call the staff anytime day or night.

      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.
