@@purplegirl20073 - how are you doing now????

Thanks for asking. I'm feeling better. Still a little sore. I think that's more from the hiatal hernia repair and the gall bladder removal though. I'm moving around better and getting in my fluids and Protein the best I can. My surgeon was very excited when he saw my gall bladder because he said it was in really bad shape, the worst he's seen. It's amazing what excites them.

I chuckled at this. Surgeons find weird things funny. Glad you got all this done at once! Me too I was like if you're opening me up take everything out I don't wanna come back!!! Haha glad you're doing well. I mean you jumped back online and texted so you must be doing great!!

I'm having my surgery in one week I'm starting my liquid diet today any suggestions on what I should try

The only suggestion I can offer is to follow the instructions that you were given, since every surgeon has their own guidelines.

      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.
