I am thinking about aiming for sleeve surgery next summer. It is very scary to me because I am worried about the major changes to what I eat and not being able get past head hunger. So one thing I am challenging myself to do is make changes now. I am in my 8th week without diet soda. I had a major addiction to diet coke/diet pepsi/diet dr pepper. I drank it from morning to night. I don't drink coffee. I have replaced the soda with iced Water and the occasional flavored water. Never thought I could do it. But I am doing it and I am, dare I say it, proud of myself.

Having said that follow your Dr and Nut.

Congrats on kicking the diet pop habit. I am close to a week with no diet coke. Still having some headaches but I am confident I will never go back. I'm not a huge fan of flavored bottled Water so I am still looking for water add ins. Do you have any you recommend that would also be good post op?

Hi Knitchic,

That's awesome. The headaches do go away. In the past I've added crystal light drops but I didn't really like them. One thing I'm going to investigate is that there are bottles that you can infuse your water with fresh fruit etc. Good luck with everything.

Mio drops are good. I was never a huge crystal light fan pre-op but now I use crystal light and Mio drops all the time to help me get in my Water.< /p>

      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.
