Yep! A two week clear liquid that includes Protein Shakes. I'm pretty used to doing shakes all day long then a semi-low carb dinner. I had a stomach bug over Christmas so I decided to go ahead and start liquid diet yesterday. But this morning my little boy made Breakfast so I had an egg sausage and cheddar cheese. Jan 1st I've got to go by the rules! :) I'm just apprehensive about headaches I may get cuz I'm very susceptible to those and about nausea that I've read about on pre-op diets. We're tough surley we can do it! :)

Sounds pretty similar to mine. I'm planning to kick it on on Jan 1, too! Crazy to think that it's coming up so quickly. I'm going to tackle the headaches with coffee, lots of Water, and advil if necessary! :)

What shakes do you like? I have some premier Protein here and just ordered a few new kinds from supplement warehouse.com to try. (They have some great closeout deals!)

It seems like forever for me because I started this journey in March and was approved in September. But I'm very thankful that is almost, really, finally here! :) I have EAS Carb Control - any flavor, nectar caribbean cooler, Nectar vanilla Bean Torte. P.S. I am not picky at all whatsoever so I hope it stays that way post op. I want some Premier but have to drive 40 miles to get it in bulk, to expensive in my town, I will look at Supplement Warehouse. Never heard of it before. Thanks!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
