Hi Amber,

I have a surgery date of September 9th. I am just a tad (tads do matter) over 5'4" and 330. I am into my pre surgery diet now, and hope I can shed some before my August 28th Dr. appt.

Good luck to you. We will stay in contact here and I wish you the best.

Amber, what are your clear liquid plans after surgery.

First two weeks= Clear liquids

Next four weeks = liquids (I think I have that covered)

I am a bit stumped on the Clear Liquids.< /p>

My plans are chicken broth. I know for clear liquids we can have sugar free Jello and popcicles. We can do flavored water also. That's pretty much on my agenda for his. I want to get some tasteless powder Protein to add to my broth so I can make sure I'm getting the protein I need.

I am also having surgery on 9/14. The Protein powder I'm using is from Thorne research laboratory (chocolate and vanilla) . My doctors office sells it discounted. It's pretty good. I only have a 3 day pre op diet. Right now they advise 1-2 Meal Replacement Protein drinks per day. Low carb diet for other meals. Eat Protein first and no drinking with meals. Exercise at least 4 X week. They also have me taking Calcium chloride and Vitamins with Biotin and zinc. I have to attend a pre-op class on the Sept. 3rd. To prepare for post op I've purchased unflavored and chicken Soup flavor Protein Powder.

      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.
