Breathe. Then call your NUT and ask for specifics. Stock your house with delicious cream Soups and liquids you are allowed. Clean the house. You won't want to deal with vacuuming post op. Take the time to write your post op self a letter now. Open it in a year. Write all the feelings you're having and why you're doing this. Write down every thing you want to do once you lose weight that you aren't able to do now. Most of all be be gentle with yourself. You've worked hard to get here and you deserve all the happiness that is coming your way. Stay connected here. Good luck!!!!

I like U njury chocolate. I order it online and also buy the single serving packets for travel and work. As for clear Liquid Protein for pre op diet I used Isopure but I didn't like any of them. Ensure makes a clear that's slightly better tasting but Isopure had the most Protein.

Hi. I'm in AZ too. I didn't go through your surgeon, I went through True results in Scottsdale. I have read and learned so much from your doctor's web sites. Just read, read, and read. I personally like premier Protein shakes. I pick them up at costco or sam's club. The hardest part for me was the 2 week pre op diet. I don't know how I did it... but I did lose 20 pounds in 2 weeks. Good luck on your journey. I am still learning. I have had 5 fills so far... Just follow the rules as best as you can. Best wishes!

      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.
