Scheduled for May 15th! Has anyone started their pre-op diet yet?

I have been on my liquid diet for a week now. It's not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I'm amazed that I haven't been tempted to cheat! Are you on yours? You will do great!

I'm doing Boost Calorie Smart - chocolate. It's the best that I've had and approved by my nutritionist. I bought stuff from them and I just don't like it.

My surgery is scheduled for May 8th! I'm on day 3 of my liquid diet. I feel like these will be the longest 2 weeks of my life. LOL

I think my biggest fear is the skin. I don't want to look horrible. :-(

Good luck with your surgery! It's going to be a big month.

I share your surgery date. I worry about my skin too. And plan to workout as soon as I can again. But no matter extra skin is way better then XXXL me!

We are getting closer! How is your liquid diet going?? We can do this!!!!!

      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.
