Ok, so I've been keeping up to date with you all and am impressed with your results.

So much so that, beginning Monday (Aus time), I'm gonna have a crack at 5 days on liquids..

I'll do my pre-op Soups, as I have some left over, along with my Protein drinks...

I'm happy to allow myself a couple of spoons of yougurt in the evening, but that'll be it..

To all those of you who have done or are doing this, thank you very little for inspiring me to do such a crazy thing... :mellow:

@ They say they don't want you using them because you can suck air in...blah blah blah. I do fine with them and my suregon said its ok. So I don't care what "they" say. :)

@@KindaFamiliar Well I'm glad we inspired you to be crazy! If it gets bad just remember it's wasn't my fault!!

On the contrary @@Elode

In the event of my mind disappearing completely, you, and you alone, shall be held accountable for my mental passing...

Alas, I feel that nobody will even notice the difference between me now and me having lost all faculties...

Oh the joys of being me...

Can cause bloating, which was what my doctor told me. It took a while to get use to the whole no drinking and no drinking with straws but Its one of those few things that kinda stuck from day one with me.

ohkay - I'm more then sure that this has been asked, but why no straws - for me it makes it easier to sip if I have a straw then without... mind you - i've probably read the answer somewhere else as well, but I don't remember it :(

@@wannaBthinsoon Yes, much restriction! I had good before but I didn't even get in 2 small chicken wings tonight. I also learned a valuable lesson. If I try to drink and eat I will puke! Big time! I did half a shake instead.

Ok I'm still going... I'm loving this!!

I'm down another pound which makes for a total of 5 lbs since I started. Woo hoo!

The best part was I was about a week into a complete stall. Well- that's over now!! I'll probably go for at lest 4 more days.

Thank you @@Elode!!! I owe you BIG time!!!

      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.
