I am on 800 calories high protien low carb, non starchy veggies, no fruit and no other carbs. My husband makes it a little difficult. But worse is our friends. Last night the ordered pizza, and brought cream cheese filled croissants and Peanut Butter Cookies. It was hard. But I did it. And this morning my daughter wanted doughnuts and hubby McDonalds. I got both what they wanted and came home and drank an Isopure.

We will get though this. And we will be healthier for it. I can't wait for my new stomach this is all worth it

Are your husband and daughter overweight?

Husband yes, daughter no.

Will you be trying to change their diets after you have surgery? Why not have a talk with them about helping you out now by eating more healthfully. You shouldn't be having to go get macdonalds and donuts. That's so unfair. Your life is about to change and they need to realize it has to change for everyone

They are mostly eating better because I am cooking more and healthier meals. I think sometimes they just want the treats that I can't have. It is hard yes, but I will have to deal with those around me eating poorly not always at home, but at work and with friends as well.

That's true. I just think now is a very hard time for you to be around those foods and I feel for you. I was lucky and didn't have to do a pre op 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.
