I'm having surgery on the 20th as well. I'm so excited and starting to get a little scared. I'm sooooo sick of this pre surgery diet though. I'm actually looking forward to the liquids only on Wednesday because I'm getting sick of all the veggies!

Good luck, August sleevers. I would strongly advocate going to Clear Liquids today (which is what I did, three days before). I just wasn't comfortable with the idea of recently eaten food and my stomach being reconstructed. Apart from that, I knew it would help me a great deal with this awful liquid phase from which I am about to graduate on Thursday. I think the glee of being on the doorstep of surgery totally hijacks any hunger sensation within these last 72 hours, and personally, while I had ravenous hunger throughout pre-op, it completely gave up when I closed within three days as your brain has been told things are about to get very different. God bless!

Great advice Sleevy. I was thinking about starting liquid tomorrow instead of Wednesday. Or maybe do liquid for the second half of tomorrow. Good luck transitioning to mush!

      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.
