If you've started your pre-op, how are you doing? I'm on day 6 and off to a good start....have lost 10.6 lbs! yay!

It's really not that bad to follow.

I am struggling a bit with the second week diet plan (two-shakes, one meal). There are days where I'm eating more than others, as in drinking a shake and eating shortly thereafter -- then later having a regular meal (the "one" meal) for the day. Any advice or suggestions?

I'm curious did everyone have to do the 6 month nutrition program ? Prior to surgery ? I am currently starting the long process and August 5 I meet my surgeon

My surgery date is August 5th as well! I am super excited. Now if I can get through the 2 week liquid diet pre-op I will be fine. ;-)

I'm August 5th too

I did not have the 6 month requirement, this is mostly for insurance purposes, as it is required for some insurance plans.

Yeah insurance is what usually requires the 6 month program. As I am self-pay I was not required to complete a 6 month program.

      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.
