Oh ok. I can't have any caffeine. And no meals either. 21 days of horribleness but it will be worth it

@@monopoly2015 I can't have meals either really, except I guess I do count my broth & cottage cheese as a meal. I save that up all day & have it for my dinner. I thought if I gave myself something to look forward to I would be less likely to feel so deprived on straight liquids all day. I have a friend that's having her surgery the 6th with a different Dr than me & she can have a lean meat & salad for dinner. Its weird how different drs have different guidelines. I'm scared to cheat though. I'm afraid it will somehow cause me problems during or after surgery, or that when he gets in there he'll be able to tell lol. @@losing.it.lulu I feel the same way. I think my body has just gave up at this point on ever seeing solids again. I told hubby tonight that I think my stomach feels like it would reject anything solid if I even tried lol. :)

I'm on day 6 of 10. I'm down 6 pounds since I started the actual liquid diet Sunday. I started a doing 2 shakes & a lean meal 12/4 when I found out for sure that I would get to have surgery January 7th & all together I'm down 12 pounds from that. Today has been my easiest day yet on the liquid diet. People at work have tried so hard not to even talk about food this week, lol, but I told them today I'm pretty much over it now. Its almost like a new habit to me now lol.

      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.
