Recommended Posts

Congratulations and good luck next week. My surgery is Dec 8th and I've been on the liquid diet for 6 days now. I can't stand the smell of the Protein shakes! I'm doing good to get 1 a day down. I go for my pre op appt this afternoon with my doc so I'll find out then how much I've lost so far. I also need a surgery buddy :)

I'm on day 7 of 14. I am finally reaching the point that I'm not starving all the time. Today, I've actually had to remind myself to have a shake! :-) My surgery date is the 10th.

Hi, how are you? I am on my shakes only and have surgery scheduled for Thursday 12/11 0830, luckily only had to do the shakes for 1 week. I'm doing well but I think I need more shakes. Only had 490 calories yesterday and have a bit of a headache. Getting nervous with butterflies when I think of the big day.

So the 2 of you are 12/8 and 12/10 and me 12/11. Does anyone want to do to texting since getting on the computer will not be as easy??

      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.
