Hi so have any of you started your two week diet yet? I see my NUT this Friday I'm excited but nervous at the same time, I know I am ready, even though I know it will be a test of wills... not to cheat...I am really working on getting my mindset ready to do battle. It's hard because I have a couple of children I still have to cook for and just keeping in mind this is not for me even though it might smell good plays mind games. No you can not just have a tiny taste... Are any of you going thru this too?

I've been on my Pre-op diet for a little over 2 weeks. I have an 18 month old and husband so cooking is different but so far so good. My liquid diet doesn't start until 3 days before surgery for me.

Wow 4 weeks is a long time... What kind of shakes are you using? I had purchased the Premier Protein shakes from costco - I got all three flavors since I was not sure what I would like.. The strawberry cream is my least favorite, I think because it is just not flavored enough... I had also purchased some sugar free syrups different flavors, so this morning I put some raspberry in with my shake it tasted much better, not sure if you have any of those syrups but they might be an idea to spruce stuff up to more your likening...

      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.
