Hi everyone! My surgery is on Nov 6! Went for pre op on Tuesday and went well. Didn't think this day would ever get here. Ready to start day 3 of liquids. Getting a tiny bit easier????. I am from Kansas. Would love to keep in touch with as many of you as possible for support! I recently started some on line journaling which has been very therapeutic for me. Good luck all!!

Well, I have been trying to review, experiment on Meal Replacement flavors, and stock up on what I will need post-op. My post-op diet per my surgeon is to reduce the size of my liver. I guess that it what they are all supposed to do. It consists of liquid Protein Meal Replacements (5/day), low sodium broth (2/day), sugar free Jello (1/day) and lots of Water. I don't officially start it until the 9th, but I have been trying it on for size (toleration), started Mon. I discovered that it is more likely than not that if I get rid of any already cooked food, I will have no problems staying the course. Unfortunately, by 5pm, I remembered this is just an experiment and so I pulled out and microwaved leftovers that I had in the frig. I know that I could have done without the food, but it was there.

Just wondering does this sound anything like your experiences?

      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.
