I'm starting to add a shake a day to get use to it in place of lunch. Easy at work... I'm going to have a tough time as I'm not a fan of the thick frothy consistency but have no choice!!!

My surgery is scheduled for Monday, April 6th. I have my EGD tomorrow morning (March 20th). I start my pre-op diet on Monday (March 23rd). I'm feeling excited. I've been working toward this since the week of Thanksgiving, 2014. Everything is happening so fast all of the sudden.

I'm scheduled for April 8. I start my liquid diet on 3/25. I'm also doing a shake a day like CapeMom to get used to it. I'm having a hard time imagining just these shakes for two weeks!

      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.
