Hi all! I'm new here. I'm expecting to hear from my doctor today with my date. It's either September 1 or September 8. Yay! Thanks for all the posts and encouraging words.

No problem at all with the liquid diet. Over two months ago, I switched to 2-3 Premier Protein shakes a day, and one smallish Protein meal. So, going to liquid diet has meant dropping the protein meal and increasing the shakes -- something I did last week before I had a surgery date. In another two days, I go to Clear Liquids -- Syntrax Nectar and broth and stuff.

I am honestly much more stressed about the milk of magnesia they want me to have than the liquid diet.

      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.
